Abstract

(VF)Cet article analyse les fondements et conséquences de l'hétérogénéité des administrateurs sur la performance financière des sociétés françaises. Il s'agit d'estimer son influence sur l'efficacité du rôle cognitif et disciplinaire du conseil d'administration (CA). L’hétérogénéité est positivement corrélée à la complexité des firmes sauf pour les moins complexes, et à la latitude des PDG les plus influents. L'hétérogénéité du CA n'est coûteuse que pour les actionnaires des firmes peu complexes ou à faible latitude managériale. Accroître l'hétérogénéité n'améliore pas nécessairement l'efficacité du CA en termes de conseil et de contrôle de l'équipe dirigeante.(VA)This article analyzes the determinants and consequences of director heterogeneity on the financial performance of French firms in order to estimate its influence on the efficacy of cognitive and disciplinary role of the board. The board heterogeneity is positively correlated with the firm complexity except for least complex, and with latitude of the most influential CEOs. The board heterogeneity is costly only for shareholders of less complex firms or those with low managerial discretion. Increasing director heterogeneity does not necessarily improve the board efficacy on managerial advising and managerial monitoring.
