| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines the presence of ethnic minority (EM) directors on FTSE 100 company boards. The 20 companies with EM directors are significantly more likely than other boards to have higher market capitalization, a larger workforce and a larger, more independent and gender-diverse board. Their sectors are banking and life assurance, media, pharmaceuticals, energy, chemicals, mining, telecoms, and food and beverage production. The 27 EM directors hold 28 seats, representing 2.4 percent of all FTSE 100 directorships etc. Drawing on resource dependency theory, this paper considers the human and social capital of EM directors having high levels of human capital, especially advanced education and considerable social capital from connections to important resources etc. |
