Companies with female board members are more likely to make decisions that benefit everyone from investors to staff, a study showed. Business school researchers said the findings show that having women in the boardroom is not just good for equality but good for business too.

The study surveyed 600 board directors about their approach to decision

making and other company problems. It found that when there were conflicting interests, women board members tended to make fairer decisions than men.

Female directors are more likely to consider how the decision will affect others, whether it is employees, investors for example. To do this, women on the board are also more likely to use others in the decision making process, which leads to a much more co-operative feeling within the company itself. As a consequence, female influenced companies are generally more successful than those only in the charge of males.

Of the 600 board members studied, 75 percent were male and it found men were more likely

to make decisions based on rules, regulations and traditional methods. Women, however, were more likely to try new ways. Professor Bart said, “We've known for some time that companies that have more women on their boards have better results. ”Our findings show that having women on the board is no longer just the right thing but also the smart thing to do. “Companies with few female directors may actually be shortchanging their investors.”

Gregory McQueen said, “Women seem to be more inquisitive and to see more possible solutions. At the board level where directors have to act in the best interest of the corporation while taking the viewpoints of multiple stakeholders into account, this quality makes them more effective corporate directors.” Previous studies have shown that corporations with women on the board perform better and are less likely to go bankrupt.
