A Behavioral Test Strategy For Board Level Systems
A digital board typically contains a heterogeneous mixture of chips: microprocessors, memory, control and I/O logic. Different testing techniques are needed for each of these components. To test the whole board, these techniques must be integrated into an overall testing strategy for the board. In …

"Gender Fund" : creating a virtual mutual fund investing in firms with gender diversity
"Companies with more women board directors experience higher financial performance" (Bottom Line report from Catalyst). This shows that gender diversity at the board level is a hot topic. In October 2014, Credit Suisse came to similar conclusions; "Diversity is in focus today, not just for equality …

Leadership Transition Barriers in Small Nonprofits - An Analysis of Board Engagement
Board chairs of nonprofits agree that hiring an executive director is one of the most important things that boards of directors can do. Accordingly one would expect that boards would be prepared for executive director leadership transitions, whether planned or unplanned, recognizing that their …

NONPROFIT BOARD GOVERNANCE: BARRIERS TO MILLENNIAL AND RACIAL MINORITY DIVERSITY IN BOARD SERVICE
… in the workplace, the field for new, nonprofit, board-level volunteers is large. However, research shows that young professionals and marginalized racial minorities are underrepresented or not represented in this area. Why is this our current reality and what is hindering the service of these …

Who do you think you are? A hermeneutic study of leaders' identities.
This hermeneutic study engaged board level leaders in exploring their leadership identities. Little attention has been paid to exploring identity creation of board level leaders over their professional careers. Studies on leadership identity have focused at organisational level, with those studies …

Allocating effort: risk and complexity in board directors’ engagement with information
This research aims to understand how Board level Directors engage with information. The study has its roots in Sir Adrian Cadbury’s (1992:4.8) requirement that “directors receive timely, relevant information tailored to their needs”. This research aims to investigate the underlying assumption that …
