Abstract

A plethora of worldwide study on board diversity and its relationship with firm performance had produced mixed results. Our study investigated not only from the board diversity perspective, but also examined the integrative web of firm reputation and innovation as well as the shareholder activism. We employed Smart PLS and SPSS to run the 105-sampled data and the statistical findings suggested that firm reputation does boost firm performance but not innovation, and also there is a positive correlation between board diversity and firm reputation. The findings further posit that shareholder activism does indeed affect diverse representation of the board. However, it does not agree that shareholder activism itself has a positive correlation with firm performance. This could be attributed to the views of top-level management, directors, and company secretaries, who are more familiar with the nuances of the board modus operandi and functions.
