“…Diversity would be expected to inject new insights and perspectives on environmental and social stakeholders, and challenge existing mental models in decision making that may focus exclusively on the economic bottom line. In this regard, according to Dang and Vo (2012), the literature contains a variety of theoretical (i.e. resource dependence theory, agency theory) and practical arguments for board gender diversity.…”

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is increasingly becoming a strategic issue that has to be dealt with by top management. The aim of the present study is to analyse the role that women directors can play as driving forces behind the development of CSR in organisations, and contribute to sustainable development. Despite the fact that gender diversity is acquiring considerable importance, most research has focused on analysing how it affects financial performance. In this study, we analyse the implications that gender diversity has on CSR. To do so, we have carried out an empirical study of a sample of firms from a variety of countries and sectors to determine whether those firms with a higher percentage of women on the board of directors are more socially responsible. The results support the hypothesis that gender diversity has a positive influence on CSR. Female talent can play a strategic role in enabling firms to manage their social responsibility and sustainable practices appropriately. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment

“…In the BGD literature, the current state of art is not very different regarding its impact on firm financial performance. This relationship is hotly debated in the economics, financial and organizational sciences literatures, at both the theoretical and empirical standpoints, with the evidence revealing mixed results (Dang & Vo, 2012). For example, Liu, Wei, and Xie (2014) and Campbell and Mınguez-Vera (2008) provide evidence that BGD is positively associated with firm performance.…”

“…We believe that such empirical inconsistency regarding the relationship between BGD and firm performance may, in part, be due to the dominant estimation method applied. The literature to date has estimated the above relationship using classical linear regression (ordinary least squares À OLS) or instrumental variables (IVs) (see Dang & Vo (2012) or Terjesen et al (2009) for a review of the literature). While estimating how BGD "on average" impacts firm financial performance is both intuitive and useful, it seems possible that this relationship may differ across the firm's conditional performance distribution.…”

Numerous empirical studies have been conducted to analyze the impact of board gender diversity (BGD) on firm performance without being able to establish a clear relationship. In this paper, we reassess the relationship between BGD and firm performance by using a quantile regression approach.Our results indicate that BGD matters only across a subset of the firm performance distribution. Moreover, when the possible endogeneity of the relationship between BGD and firm performance is taken into account, there are some conditions under which a positive and significant relationship is observed for the eight lowest quantiles.

“…In fact, it is not uncommon for officials in Vietnam to skip some procedures, which are stipulated by laws, to make decisions. According to Professor Dang Hung Vo, the purpose of attracting investors to develop rural areas such as Van Giang district incentivised the officials to skip some procedures so as to speed up the decision-making process (Dang Hung Vo, 2012). However, these practices triggered inequity perceptions in land-acquired communities, who lost their livelihood without any plan of the developer and authorities in changing jobs for them.…”

Equity issues in land acquisition: A source of delays in large construction projects in Vietnam

Delays in construction projects have been a recurring and global problem for decades. In many countries, particularly developing countries, delays in land acquisition are considered one of the largest contributors of delays in large construction projects. In Vietnam, one key cause of these delays stems from equity perceptions of land-acquired communities who perceive themselves to be disadvantaged or let down by the land acquisition process. However, the formation of these equity perceptions has not been sufficiently investigated. Further, the relationship between equity issues on perceptions of land-acquired households and delays in construction projects has also not been clarified by existing literature that cannot help to adequately figure out solutions to these delays.Therefore, this research aims to investigate the formation of equity perceptions of land-acquired households and the relationship between equity issues and delays in construction projects. To implement this aim, a theoretical model is proposed that link between equity issues, comparisons, equity perceptions, and responses of landacquired communities causing delays in large construction projects in Vietnam.After that, the case study approach and semi-structured interviews of 40 landacquired households are conducted across two case studies, which are two large construction projects in Vietnam. Content and thematic analysis of the data collected was performed using Nvivo software to verify the four propositions issues and delays, which can help to address minimise delays in large construction projects. In addition, the principles of equity may be applied to project management to improve project performance, which in turn, will enable more successful project outcomes.
