“…Jung et al (2023) present evidence that the negative performance feedback leads to increased board expertise diversity, regardless of the other demographic characteristic of the boards' member candidates. Zenou et al (2020) contribute by emphasising the importance of the boards' recruitment process and argue that this process represents a specific strategic answer that should be implemented properly in order to provide the expected outcomes. Additionally, Zenou et al (2020) suggest that board diversity does not include only the board members' demographic characteristics and argument that board members' education, expertise and networks are critical for implementing innovation.…”

Background: The research on boards' strategic involvement has increased dramatically in the last few decades due to the need for improving boards' strategic effectiveness as a mechanism for improving organizational performance. The corporate scandals highlighted even more that boards' strategic decisions have sizable consequences for organizational survival, and long-term implications for organizational development. Purpose: The main research questions in this study are: 1. Which are the main elements of the concept of boards' strategic involvement?; 2. Which models constitute the core of the concept and how we can classify them?; 3. How has the discourse on boards' strategic role changed over time? Our purpose is to provide comprehensive answers to these questions and draft the future research agenda in this area. Study design/methodology/approach: Having in mind that boards' strategic involvement is a multidisciplinary area, we first conducted an integrative literature review, to detect the competing groups of models, and afterwards we conducted a semi-structured literature review in order to identify the most important topics in this area and to draft the future research agenda. Findings/conclusions: This paper contributes to research by identifying the models of boards' strategic involvement, classifying them in three competing groups of models that represent the foundation in this research area, by identifying the most investigated topics in the past five years and finally, by drafting the future research agenda. Our conclusion is that the research in this multidisciplinary area is navigating around these three groups of models and that the most explored topics around which the future research is going to be conducted are boards' involvement in the area of strategic human resource management and decisions regarding organizations' sustainability. Limitations/future research: The study's main limitations are related to the fact that the identified models on boards' strategic involvement have been developed, mostly by authors from the USA and UK, where the one-tier board system is used. In future research, the authors should focus on proposing new framework(s)/model(s) and supporting its insights with empirical evidence.

“…The analysis of the literature in the past decade on boards" strategic involvement indicates that most of the research focus on boards" involvement in issues related to strategic human resource management (Aber and Torchia 2019; Nahum and Carnelli, 2019;Zenou et al 2020;Zhu et al, 2020;Campopiano et al, 2020;Luciano et al 2020;Klarner et al 2021;Jung et al, 2023), on their understanding of sustainability as a strategy and their contribution in achieving sustainable performance (Kanadli et al, 2022;Amorelli and Garcia-Sanchez, 2020;Amorelli and Garcia-Sanchez, 2023). In conclusion, we can note that boards" involvement in strategy has important place in management literature, and the implication of the research on this topic are of value for the academic community, as well as for the practitioners.…”

Boards’ strategic involvement has been a prominent issue in the management literature, although the research on boards work and how board members fulfill their roles is limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate how boards members in companies with one-tier and two-tier board systems understand the concept of boards’ strategic involvement and what determines boards’ members strategic involvement. For answering the defined research questions, we have designed a study that has two parts: qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative analysis has enabled us to develop two separate frameworks on boards’ strategic involvement for companies with one-tier board system and for companies with two-tier board system. The results from the quantitative analysis have shown that director’s participation in discussions, their knowledge and previous organization performances are statistically significant predictors of boards’ strategic involvement. The frameworks we have designed, as well as the regression model can be used in future research for broadening the academic understanding of the boards’ members role in strategy and their involvement in strategic decision making.
