Quotas and Competences: Diversity in Danish Boards of Directors?
A meeting is arranged by CBS Center for Corporate Governance on 9 June from 16:00-18:00 in Nordea Lecture Hall (SP2.05) at Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg.
Do Danish companies make use of the potential that might emerge from a more diverse composition of board members, e.g. persons with international competences or women? Do companies with a great diversity in their boards manage differently than others? Do we need a statutory quota to determine how many women boards of directors should consist of? Does the diversity aspect even matter when filling the seats on the board of directors?
For registration, please send an email to CBS Center for Corporate Governance ccg@cbs.dk.
