International experience in the executive suite: the path to prosperity?
研究了CEO国际经验、任期、企业国际化、继任事件与企业财务绩效的关系，发现CEO任期与外部继任对国际经验有交互作用，且国际经验与企业国际化及继任的交互效应影响会计和市场绩效指标。
Attention is increasingly focused on the potential individual career and firm-level benefits of international experience for upper level executives. This research examines the relationships between CEO international experience, CEO tenure, firm internationalization, succession events, and corporate financial performance. Results indicate a significant interactive effect between CEO tenure and outside succession on CEO international experience. In addition to a relationship with CEO international experience, there are two additional interactive effects in the examination of corporate financial performance: (1) CEO international experience and the degree of firm internationalization, and (2) CEO international experience and CEO succession. These interactive effects are evident in accounting and market indicators of corporate financial performance. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
