| Summary: | In January 2013, International Finance
Corporation (IFC) launched a research project entitled women
on corporate boards in Bosnia and Herzegovina, FYR
Macedonia, and Serbia. The purpose of the project was to
gather information on the representation of women on
corporate boards and to learn about the determinants of
female board membership in these countries. Which skills and
knowledge do women need to possess to become a member of a
board? Do women’s decision-making and leadership styles
differ from those of their male counterparts? Are there are
any impediments for women aspiring to board membership? And
what useful lessons can be learned to inform policy? The
research was carried out over a period of four months. It
started with desktop research conducted over a two-week
period between January 21 and February 3, 2013 and which
aimed at identifying around 30 female and male board members
in each country covered by the project who were willing to
participate. Interviews with board members were conducted
between February 5 and March 23, 2013. The report presents
research results. For more publications on IFC
