[Research Contribution] The Role of Women on Boards of Directors in Corporate Risk-Taking

As gender equality increasingly becomes a global standard in corporate governance, the role of women on boards of directors carries not only social significance but also a substantive impact on corporate strategic decisions. A research team from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has examined the relationship between women’s representation on boards of directors and the level of risk-taking among listed companies in Vietnam, thereby providing additional empirical evidence affirming the growing importance of women in modern corporate governance.
