This paper investigates the impact of gender quotas on firm performance using countries worldwide that have introduced a gender quota as a quasinatural experiment. Our statistical analysis shows that board members’ characteristics significantly change after implementing the gender quota. The results of our empirical analysis provide evidence that gender quotas reduce the cost of equity in the short term but decrease the Tobin’s Q in the long term and have a neutral impact on profitability in the short term and the longer term.

A game to foster class cohesion? That's exactly what Nick Ware, director of the Master's in Arts and Culture Management and lecturer at BSB, implemented. Indeed, communication among international students is not always easy, especially at the beginning of a program. Lego Serious Play is a method that, through the use of Lego bricks, encourages non-verbal and metaphorical expression while creating a shared language. It ensures the involvement of every participant, including the more introverted ones. This approach has proven effective in facilitating interaction among students from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds and in strengthening class cohesion.
