INSTITUTIONAL AND STRATEGIC CHOICE PERSPECTIVES ON BOARD INVOLVEMENT IN THE STRATEGIC DECISION PROCESS.
从制度和战略选择两个视角，研究了董事会参与战略决策的前因和效果，发现董事会规模、多元化程度和内部人比例与参与度负相关，组织年龄正相关，且参与度正向影响财务绩效。
The level of a board of directors' involvement in strategic decisions can be viewed as an institutional response or as a strategic adaptation to external pressures for greater board involvement. We examined the antecedents and effects of board involvement from both the institutional and strategic choice perspectives. Data obtained from personal interviews with 114 board members and archival records indicated that board size and levels of diversification and insider representation were negatively related to board involvement, and organizational age was positively related to it. Furthermore, we found board involvement to be positively related to financial performance after controlling for industry and size effects. Overall, the results suggest that both theoretical perspectives are necessary for a comprehensive description of the strategic role of boards.
