The Boardroom Review and Dissent

A boardroom audit gives the table his response to evaluate their performance in a comprehensive way. It assists tables in identifying weaknesses in their leadership relationships and culture, as well as aspects of longevity. It helps ensure that those who pay to join the table are well-equipped to carry out their duties.

This research area is in its early stages of development and many issues remain. First of all, the evidence currently available provides mixed findings on how dissent shapes boards and how they function. While some studies show positive (Zona 2016) and curvilinear effects, others report negative (Brown, Buchholtz and Butts 2019) and non-significant or mixed results (Heemskerk, Heemskerk, and Wats 2015; Minichilli et al. There is a 2012 study that shows) relationships between dissent and task performance of a board.

The literature does not provide an in-depth understanding of what factors influence the dissension’s dynamics. To enhance the contextualization of this governance phenomenon, it is important to develop a more theoretically integrated approach. This might include the use and application of configurational methods (Federo and Saz-Carranza 2018; Schiell Lewellyn and Yan 2023) to help researchers better understand how board attributes, processes, and contexts connect to the need for and sufficient causality in governance phenomenon.

Finally, a number of studies employ the narrow definition of dissent and do not report precise measurement methods. These studies are therefore susceptible to measurement errors. It would be beneficial to create more robust dissent measurement methods for future studies.
