{"product_id":"9783954894239","title":"Quotas for Women on Corporate Boards: The Call for Change in Europe","description":"The debate for higher female representation on corporate boards has become particularly intensive during the recent financial crisis. Scholars advocate that women are more risk-averse, more engaged with longer-term issues and tend to draw more attention to governance and ethics. Thus, it is suggested that due to the behavioural differences between men and women, more gender-balanced boards would have prevented a number of financial collapses. This assertion has triggered more detailed analyses of current statistics for women on boards in the European Union. A number of states have implemented various non-binding measures for improving female representation on boards. This brought them acclaim, yet no discernible results. Should we indeed insist to have gender-balanced boards, we need quotas. Evidence is of strong support.","brand":"Anchor Academic Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47064046207216,"sku":"9783954894239","price":57.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783954894239_p0.jpg?v=1763708393","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783954894239","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
