Greater use of qualitative research methods – including observing boards in real time and interviewing directors – needs to occur to advance the field. Quantitative researchers are, it would seem, measuring variables in respect of “structural independence,” rather than board and individual director effectiveness, per se . Once “board effectiveness” and “director effectiveness” variables are able to be measured, together with their interaction, a greater likelihood of distilling a more definitive relationship between corporate governance and corporate financial performance may occur.
