This strategy consists in trying to find a phenomenon that cannot be explained by natural science, and insisting that it can be explained only by reference to the activity of God. Philosophical discussion of miracles usually revolves around the attempt to link a miracle to God in just this way.

It examines the diversity found in corporate boards through various lenses including gender, ethnicity, and age, and how these factors influence decision-making, resource access, and company performance. The work also delves into theoretical models such as resource dependency theory, agency theory, and stakeholder theory to understand the dynamics of board diversity. It presents empirical analyses based on a sample of Italian companies to assess the influence of board diversity on corporate performance, employing statistical and econometric methods. The book is intended for scholars, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of management, corporate governance, and organizational behavior.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aCorporate governance$7Generated by AI 606 $aBoards of directors$7Generated by AI 615 0$aCorporate governance 615 0$aBoards of directors 700 $aPrencipe$b Antonio$0781607 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9911008956103321 996 $aI Caratteri e I Profili Di Diversitą Nella Governance Delle Aziende Quale Contributo Alla Creazione Del Valore Economico - E-Book$94394727 997 $aUNINA
