GENDER DIVERSITY IN THE BOARDROOM AND FIRM PERFORMANCEE OF SMEs IN CHINA

Abstract

Currently, the low proportion of female managers on the board of directors is one of the most common problems in corporate management. On the one hand, this situation has greatly affected the employment development of women and also attracted the
attention of researchers. On the other hand, the imbalance of the gender ratio of managers in enterprise management will also restrict the development of enterprises. However, according to some polls, increasing the proportion of female executives will
have a positive impact on companies. For example, Alibaba’s Jack Ma also emphasized the importance of gender diversity to businesses. The purpose of this study is to use statistical evidence and empirical research in quantitative analysis to specifically understand the relationship between gender diversity on the development of Chinese SMEs and the positive impact of gender diversity on the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in enterprises. I hope to change the perspective of some organizations that hinder the advancement of women and bring true gender diversity. I also hope to find a win-win gender diversity management strategy and enterprise development method.
