This document summarizes a study on the effects of top management team composition on company performance in Indonesian mining companies. The study analyzed 174 executives from 18 mining companies listed on the Indonesian stock exchange. It found that characteristics like age, gender, nationality, and education level of top managers had no statistically significant influence on the companies' return on assets. Limitations of the study included its small sample size, limited variables for measuring performance, and use of only one year of annual reports. In conclusion, the composition of top management teams was found not to affect company performance in the Indonesian mining sector based on this study.
