Abstract
Debt holders monitoring influence on the business performance has been noted in several research. Another body of research investigates the board of directors and performance linkages. The impact of debtholders on the board composition and firm performance linkage, particularly in State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), has received little attention in the literature. As a result, this article aims to determine whether the composition of Indian SOE boards has an impact on their performance. It also looks into how leverage influences the association between the composition of Indian SOE boards and their performance. From 2001 to 2019, the panel data regression is performed on 19 Indian SOEs registered on the Bombay Stock Exchange. According to the study, board size, nominee directors improve Indian SOE performance, while independent directors reduce performance. Furthermore, in high-leverage SOEs, board of directors’ supervision is reduced or removed. The findings have implications for policymakers and the government.
期刊介绍:
Business Perspectives and Research (BPR) aims to publish conceptual, empirical and applied research. The empirical research published in BPR focuses on testing, extending and building management theory. The goal is to expand and enhance the understanding of business and management through empirical investigation and theoretical analysis. BPR is also a platform for insightful and theoretically strong conceptual and review papers which would contribute to the body of knowledge. BPR seeks to advance the understanding of for-profit and not-for-profit organizations through empirical and conceptual work. It also publishes critical review of newly released books under Book Review section. The aim is to popularize and encourage discussion on ideas expressed in newly released books connected to management and allied disciplines. BPR also periodically publishes management cases grounded in theory, and communications in the form of research notes or comments from researchers and practitioners on published papers for critiquing and/or extending thinking on the area under consideration. The overarching aim of Business Perspectives and Research is to encourage original/innovative thinking through a scientific approach.
