Whilst a attention grabbing headline article I'd be more interested in a better breakdown and also a more uptodate one given "according to a report by the Credit Suisse Research Institute, created in 2008 to analyze trends expected to affect global markets.". So thats 2008, four years ago. Things have moved on, but why is this only now making the news? Diversity is always good and the size of boards, statisticaly for them to not have one single women would be indicative of a narror mindset and also one that is less able to adapt - period. So in that this is hardly supprising in any way. Not a greatly written article and I say that as they quote a 2008 report and then go on about companies who were not even a factor in 2008, which to me seems somewhat attention news based. Still simple fact that say a board of 12 people has no women and fails to adapt as well as a board that has some is perhaps obvious to me and many others. Now the question I'd ask is if you had a all women board would they perform as well and if that was the case, then I'd say the battle of the sex's is over and women won at board level. Sadly there isn't enough data to even touch upon that question, one day. Still I'd like to see boards made up of people who can do the job, nomatter there sex, preferences, colour or whatever. But I also understand the bias's and hurdles many face and in that I'm all for boards having women on them, I just hope it is done for the right reasons and not a case of we saw some old report and now need a token women to make our shares look good approach. One last thought, those who are on boards, clearly are exceptional people as they have had to stand out above the many forms of descrimination that legacy has to offer. So is it becasue there women or just exceptional good at what they do and in that measuring things and putting a sex label on it is in many ways the kind of mentality that has limited many women getting to were they deserve.
