TMT strategic consensus in Mexican companies

Scholars show continuing interest in top management teams (TMT). This line of research emphasizes their importance for organizational success. This study reveals a clear challenge for researchers; to better understand the relationships between TMT characteristics and firm performance, researchers should consider the firm's environment. Results suggest that environmental complexity moderates the relationship between TMT strategic consensus and performance in Mexican companies. Interestingly, the results contradict initial expectations; lower levels of consensus correlate with higher performance in simple, more than in complex environments. Higher levels of consensus correlate with higher performance, in complex environments.     

Innovating Beyond the Horizon: CEO Career Horizon,Top Management Composition,and R&D Intensity

Decreasing research and development (R&D) can impair the ability of firms to remain innovative in the long run. CEOs have been accused of curtailing R&D investments as they approach expected retirement, yet received findings on R&D investment behaviors of late‐career CEOs are mixed. We argue that one reason for these inconsistent findings could be that traditional approaches overlook the fact that CEOs are not isolated agents in making R&D decisions. We build on the premise that CEOs interact with their top management team (TMT) when shaping R&D strategy and advance a contextualized view of CEO dispositions in their late career stages as being constrained or enabled by their TMT. We hypothesize that some TMT attributes (e.g., tenure and age) may amplify, whereas others (e.g., functional experience and education) may mitigate inclinations to reduce R&D. Our findings, based on a longitudinal sample of 100 US manufacturing firms from 1998 to 2008, provide nuanced insights into how different TMT characteristics influence CEO‐TMT dynamics, with TMT age and TMT tenure playing particularly pronounced roles. We discuss implications of our CEO‐TMT interface approach for theory and practice. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

高管团队决策行为与决策绩效关系:行为整合的中介效应分析

战略选择是一个非常复杂、含义广泛的决策过程,而复杂的决策是管理团队许多决策行为相互作用的结果,研究行为整合在决策过程中的作用机制对战略管理理论、高层梯队理论和行为决策理论有重要的意义。根据行为决策理论,提出了决策行为、行为整合对决策绩效影响的假设模型。实证研究表明,在决策过程中,程序理性和直觉行为正向影响决策绩效,行为整合可以加强这两种决策行为的正向作用;政治行为负向影响决策绩效,行为整合可以削弱政治行为的负向作用。     

Strategic leadership and executive innovation influence: an international multi‐cluster comparative study

This study investigates the relationship of strategic leadership behaviors with executive innovation influence and the moderating effects of top management team (TMT)'s tenure heterogeneity and social culture on that relationship. Using survey data from six countries comprising three social cultures, strategic leadership behaviors were found to have a strong positive relationship with executive influence on both product–market and administrative innovations. In addition, TMT tenure heterogeneity moderated the relationship of strategic leadership behaviors with executive innovation influence for both types of innovation, while social culture moderated that relationship only in the case of administrative innovation.

高管团队价值观、团队氛围对冲突的影响

文章实证分析了高管团队成员的社会价值观和团队氛围对冲突的影响。结果表明,高管团队的绩效观和集体主义观与任务冲突有正向联系,集体主义观异质性和绩效观异质性抑制任务冲突,利己权力观异质性引起任务冲突。研究发现高管团队开放性和信任构成的团队氛围与任务冲突有正向联系,总经理的集体主义导向与任务冲突正相关。研究没有发现价值观与关系冲突联系的直接证据,关系冲突更可能与情绪因素相联系。     

跨国公司高管团队国际经验多样性与海外建立模式研究*——管理自主权的调节效应

高管团队层面的经验将如何影响企业海外建立模式的选择？本文基于高阶理论,以2008—2012年中国280家上市公司772个海外子公司投资事件为样本,对此进行研究分析。结果显示：（1）高管团队国际经验的多样性促进了跨国公司选择海外并购的建立模式;（2）高管团队的管理自主权（组织资源冗余与高管团队持股）具有增强上述关系的调节作用。研究结果不仅强调了跨国决策中内部力量——高管团队的重要作用,同时实证检验了高管团队国际经验结构的多样性对于海外建立模式选择的作用,丰富了过去建立模式选择的研究,并给出了管理启示。     

Gender diversity in hospitality and tourism top management teams: A systematic review of the last 10 years

Due to women still accounting for less than a quarter of hospitality and tourism executive-level positions, the purpose of this paper was to identify antecedents to and outcomes of gender diverse hospitality and tourism top management teams, describe potential mediators and moderators to these relationships, and provide directions for future research. A systematic review of gender diversity in hospitality and tourism top management teams (TMTs) was conducted between the years 2010 and 2020, resulting in 26 articles used for the thematic analysis. Antecedents, outcomes, mediators, and moderators of gender diverse hospitality and tourism TMTs were identified. The results indicated female role models, organizational structure, and organizational support as antecedents, while financial performance, business growth, and human resource outcomes were consequences. The resource advantage theory is proposed as an explanation for each of these relationships. This study fills a gap in previous literature by conducting a review of gender diversity, identifying critical gaps, and proposing an overarching theory.     

CEO兼具自恋和谦卑特质与组织双元性的关系研究

组织实现双元性——平衡探索和利用行为——对获取竞争优势至关重要,但同时也面临挑战:既不能过度利用已有技术和能力,避免陷入成功陷阱;也不能过度探索全新领域,避免陷入失败陷阱,而是要兼顾两类行为、均衡投入、不偏不倚。作为企业最重要的领导者,CEO的人格特质对此具有重要影响。然而,已有双元性文献和有关CEO自恋、谦卑特质的研究均忽略了这个问题。基于自我调节理论和悖论理论,本文探究兼具自恋和谦卑特质的CEO在实现组织双元性中的作用及其条件,从CEO个体差异视角给出实现双元平衡的新解释。研究发现:(1)经由自我调节,CEO兼具看似矛盾的自恋和谦卑特质,二者取长补短、相互校正,促进探索和利用行为的平衡;(2)高管团队多样性和企业环境动态性会破坏CEO自我调节过程进而抑制CEO双重特质的作用,是上述关系的理论边界。来自江苏省128家企业的588位高管人员的现场问卷调查支持了上述观点。本文拓展了组织双元性的前因研究,丰富了CEO自恋和谦卑特质的战略领导力文献,也对企业创新管理实践有所启发。     

企业环境不确定性对中小民营企业家战略执行能力的影响

根据环境与战略关系的相关研究和能力心理学,企业环境不确定性和高管团队支持是影响企业家战略执行能力改善的重要因素。对259家中小民营企业的实证研究表明,企业环境复杂性对企业家战略执行能力有显著的促进作用,高管团队支持对企业环境敌对性与企业家战略执行能力的关系起正向调节作用。因此,投入更多的时间和精力于提高复杂环境下战略实施活动的效率,以及在敌对环境实施战略时积极获取高管团队的支持,都是中小民营企业家改善其战略执行能力的重要途径。
