Summary:

"Challenging existing research and concepts, this Research Handbook presents cutting-edge insights into diversity and corporate governance. Going beyond the surface of diversity, global expert contributors present diverse chapters offering a wide range of perspectives on the use of theories and methodologies. Integrating multi-disciplinary insights and decades of research and evidence into a historical overview and multilevel framework of diversity and corporate governance, this Research Handbook provides a deep dive into gender, caste and ethnicity. Split into five thematic parts, it provides a full focus on meaning, impact and reflection to provide a much broader look at the topic and illustrates novel theoretical dimensions such as dynamic capabilities and digital expertise. This Handbook will be an excellent resource for scholars researching topics including corporate governance, boards of directors and diversity. The breadth of perspectives offered will also be illuminating and informative for global policy makers and business leaders"-- Provided by publisher.
