      abstract = {This book expands on the literature on the characteristics  of management boards by especially focusing on  family-listed and family-controlled companies, as they are  ideal for studying board heterogeneity. It uses specific  multidimensional indices and in-depth econometric analysis  to introduce new variables, such as international  experience, that represent a source of competitive  advantage for firms in today's globalized world. In  addition, by examining the heterogeneity ratio and the  representation of independent and family directors, the  book demonstrates how family-controlled firms use  independent directors to import their heterogeneous  expertise. The book makes a threefold contribution: for  regulators, it offers suggestions on improving the quality  of reporting in family-controlled firms; for researchers,  it demonstrates the importance of including directors'  characteristics apart from the firm-specific factors in  their analyses; and for practitioners, it shows that  selecting directors with specific characteristics can have  a substantial impact on firms' performance.},
