Resumo(s)
This thesis investigates the impact of governance structures, specifically board independence
and gender diversity at the board and executive committees, on firm performance across the
United States, Germany, and France. Using regression models tailored to each market, the study
finds that independent directors significantly enhance firm valuation through improved
governance and accountability. In contrast, board-level gender diversity shows no direct effect
on performance, while female executives positively influence performance by fostering
innovation and inclusivity. These findings highlight the critical role of executive-level diversity,
especially female representation, and board independence in driving sustainable performance,
offering actionable insights for governance improvement.
