（2022 广发）The study focused on dozens of companies in the tech and finance industries. And those who participated in the experiment had one thing in common — they all reported they
had some kind of managerial experience. Jennifer Dannals, a Dartmouth researcher on the study, said participants valued companies with better gender diversity numbers, because they expect those companies to be more innovative and creative. Investors could also prefer these companies for personal or ethical reasons, Dannals said. Some people like to invest in companies to support social or political goals, including the goal of employing more women.
This study is different, because most other research has focused on diversity, among leaders at a company. This study focused on the power and value of the workforce. And it’s based
on data that only recently became available, as tech companies began sharing diversity statistics five years ago. According to a report, some high-tech workforces reported a third
of its workforce was women.
