英国伦敦国王学院硕士毕业论文：‘Breaking the glass ceilingkkk------ Women on boards’The Chinese evidence

1. Introduction

Directors are elected by shareholders and responsible for Corporate Governance and daily operations of a company to meet certain internal and external goals.Executive directors are inside directors who are members of the board also serving as executive managers of the company. Most often, they are called corporate officers. Meanwhile, non-executive directors or outside directors do not form part of the executive management team. They are not employees of the company or affiliated with it in any other way. Boards are often criticized for having similar board members such as similar education, network, and background and so on. This kind of homogeneity among directors is more likely to produce ‘group-think’. The vast majority of board members are male all the time.Prior work from almost two decades ago summarized that there is a systematic bias against women to top boardcommittees.This can be partly attributed to the widely publicized ‘glass ceiling’ which is ‘the unseen, yet unbreakable barrier that keeps minorities and women from rising to the upper rungs of the corporate ladder, regardless of their qualifications or achievements.’(Federal Glass Ceiling Commission) Nowadays, women’s employment earnings are still lower than men’s on average, even when they have the same education background and experience. Board diversity has become a major issue within corporate governance where a number of studies seek to explore the impact of diversity on firm performance.
