Abstract

L’objectif du papier est de mieux cerner les différentes caractéristiques de la diversité de nature cognitive ou démographique du Conseil d’Administration (CA) des grandes entreprises françaises. L’approche démographique de la diversité prétend limiter les comportements opportunistes des dirigeants, alors que les critères cognitifs mettent en avant la capacité du CA à participer à l’élaboration de la stratégie. Chacune de ces caractéristiques de la diversité correspond à une fonction attendue du CA et pourrait, ainsi, représenter une source de performance supplémentaire. Nous établirons un lien entre ces deux caractéristiques avec la performance financière des entreprises du CAC40.
