The Boardroom Review and Dissent
A boardroom review is a procedure that allows a table to assess its performance in a thorough manner. It assists tables in identifying aspects of longevity, as and weaknesses in their leadership relationships, connections and the culture that could lead to both social and practical changes. It also helps ensure that those who pay for table membership are equipped to fulfill their duties.
This research field is developing and there remain some issues. The current evidence-based evidence provides mixed results on how dissent can affect boards and their functioning. While some studies show positive (Zona 2016) and curvilinear impacts, others report negative (Brown, Buchholtz and Butts 2019) as well as mixed or non-significant results (Heemskerk, Heemskerk, and Wats, 2015; Minichilli et al. There are his response 2012) relationships between dissent and the task performance of the board.
The literature is not able to provide an in-depth understanding of what factors influence the dissension’s dynamics. Future research should create a more integrated theoretical approach to contextualize this governance phenomenon. This might include the use and application of configurational methods (Federo and Saz-Carranza 2018, Schiell Lewellyn, and Yan 2023) to assist researchers to better understand how board attributes, processes, and contexts connect to the need for and sufficient causality in governance issues.
In addition, many studies employ the narrow definition of dissent and do not disclose precise measurement methods. As such, these studies are more susceptible to measurement errors. Thus, it would be beneficial for future studies to develop more robust and precise dissent measurement methods.
