| Tiivistelmä: | Academic debate on the strategic importance of women corporate directors is widely recognized, being still open. It is herein questioned: Does an increased number of women corporate boards result in a build up of critical mass that substantially contributes to firm innovation? It is aimed at testing if 'at least three women' could constitute the desired critical mass by identifying different minorities of women directors. Based on a sample of over 310 Norwegian firms, it is found among others that attaining critical mass going from one or two women to at least three women, makes it possible to enhance the level of firm innovation etc. |
