| Abstract: | This article explores factors influencing board selection and share ownership in initial public offerings (IPOs) by combining the agency perspective, resource-based view and upper echelon research. It shows that board independence, cognitive capacity and the incentives of non-executive directors are negatively related with the experience and power of executive directors. Large-block share ownership is positively associated with the intensity and diversity of non-executives' experience. However, the retained equity by venture capitalists negatively impacts board independence and non-executive directors' interests. |
