This study employs both Agency Theory and Resource Based View Theory. Agency Theory is employed to explain the relationship of board characteristics towards both R&D intensity and financial performance. Meanwhile, Resource Based View Theory is used to elucidate the effect of R&D intensity on financial performance.

In this study, the samples are gathered from financial year 2017 to 2019. The results from the study revealed that board characteristics are interconnected to financial performance with the presence of R&D intensity. Thus, it is important for the companies to select their board members diligently and apply the standard practices or policies appropriately.
