Abstract (De)
Management literature offers substantial insight about corporate boards and their impact on firm outcomes. While much of this research has focused on board structure and surface-level demographics, a growing body of literature is investigating outside directors’ prior experiences and resulting expertise. Despite the proliferation of research, scholars have often used board expertise as a context to test discrete theory, and conclusions have rarely been discussed and linked across domains. Consequently, the literature offers fragmented theoretical mechanisms and inconsistent empirical findings on the basic question of how outside directors’ expertise impacts the firm. We synthesize strategic management, corporate governance, strategic leadership and organizational behavior research to delineate the sources, contingencies and outcomes of board expertise. We then develop an integrative model to identify potential frictions that affect board expertise outcomes and offer a future research agenda to advance our understanding of how board expertise influences boardroom processes and firm outcomes.
