A boardroom review is a process that lets a table assess its performance in a comprehensive way. It assists tables in identifying aspects of longevity as and weaknesses in their leadership relationships, connections and culture that could result in both practical and social changes. It also helps ensure that the members who pay for table membership are equipped to fulfill their duties.
This research area is developing and there are many challenges. The current empirical evidence suggests diverse results on how dissent can affect boards and their performance. Certain studies show positive (Zona 2016) curvilinear, non-significant or mixed results. Others find negative (Brown Buchholtz And Butts 2019, Heemskerk Heemskerk and Wats, Minichilli, et al. There are 2012) connections between dissent and task performance of a board.
Furthermore, the current research literature is not able to provide a more thorough theoretical understanding of the forces that drive the dynamics of disagreement. To improve the understanding of this governance phenomenon, it is worthwhile for future research to create a more theoretically integrated approach. This could involve the use of configurational approaches (Federo and Saz-Carranza in 2018; Schiell, Lewellyn & Yan 2023) to help researchers better understand the ways in which board attributes and processes are related to essential and sufficient causality.
In the end, some studies employ an esoteric definition of discord, but don’t provide precise measurement methods. They are therefore susceptible to measurement errors. Therefore, it would be worthwhile for future studies to develop more robust and precise dissent measurement methods.
