Does board diversity matter for innovation performance? : evidence from the world’s most innovative firms
In this paper, we study the impact of board diversity, considering both surface-level (gender and
ethnic) and deep- level (educational and functional) diversity, on innovation performance. To
empirically assess this impact, we collect data on the world's 100 most innovative companies
according to Forbes 2018’ ranking. The results suggest that gender diversity and ethnic diversity
do not influence innovation performance. We also find that moderating gender and ethnic
diversities by knowledge (educational and functional diversity) do not impact innovation
performance. However, the results show that board size, as well as firms’ sector and region, have
a significant influence on innovation performance
Financial crisis and private equity performance in France
CNRS 4, FNEGE 4, HCERES CInternational audienceThis study aims at analysing the performance of the private equity industry in France taking into account the financial subprime crisis. Based on a sample of 339 private equity funds, the results show that the financial crisis negatively and significantly impacted the performance of private equity funds. Development capital funds and buy-out funds experienced a significant decline in their performance after the crisis. Results show a better resilience of small funds in comparison to larger ones. The bigger funds suffered from a severe drop in their performance after the beginning of the financial crisis
Identifying the determinants of corporate venture capital strategy: evidence from French firms
CNRS 4, FNEGE 4, HCERES CInternational audienceIn this paper, we aim to empirically assess the main determinants of decisions of established large firms to launch or join a corporate venture fund. Our study is performed on a database of all French firms that adopted a corporate venture capital (CVC) strategy between 1995 and 2015. This specifically collected dataset includes 58 large groups listed on the SBF 120 index, with 29 groups that launched or joined CVC funds and the other 29 groups are our control sample. The results provide evidence that a firm's CVC strategy is an increasing function of the strength of its specific resources, its performance, the availability of resources, and its low level of indebtedness
