Abstract
The international literature has deepened the importance of analysing the composition of BoDs in order to understand their effectiveness and efficiency. Along this path of research, this chapter aims to investigate the board diversity reviewing the main contributes developed on this topic. Specifically, the chapter illustrates the different sources in terms of diversity in the boardrooms, putting in evidence the role of regulations and institutional investors at promoting the growth of this diversity. The analysis is proposed through a cost-benefit approach, to illustrate the potential advantages and the relative risks connected to the diversity in BoDs.
