‘Improving’ gender diversity on boards leads to a decline in corporate performance: the evidence
From time to time we refer to five studies which support the argument that ‘improving’ gender diversity on boards leads to a decline in corporate performance. They’re referred to in a number of posts, and have been included in a number of our documents. But we thought it might be useful to have one short document with details of the studies and their Abstracts, so here it is:
I’m not sure if you have seen this but, I have just started to read a 2011 E.U. PDF report with title:-
Scenarios for a One Planet Economy in Europe. It would seem that the E.U. want to take us, by the year 2050, to a place that no one would voluntarly go.
The first scenario jumped out at me. It is called
‘Clever Sharing’
Quality-driven mindset
towards development
Dynamic technological
innovation
People have voluntarily
become more socially
responsible and
environmentally aware in
their lifestyles and act less
selfishly
Planned obsolescence of
technology has been
replaced by planned
durability and reuse
Energy infrastructure is
largely decentralised and
flexible.
Competition has largely
been replaced by
cooperation
You will note the last – ‘competition has largely been replaced by cooperation’ It would seem that there would be no place for, even feminised, men in the Board Rooms under this scenario. Perhaps the drive for ‘quotas’ is just part of a much larger agenda?
