TOP MANAGEMENT TEAM STRATEGIC CONSENSUS, DEMOGRAPHIC HOMOGENEITY AND FIRM PERFORMANCE: A REPORT OF RESOUNDING NONFINDINGS
假设高管团队的目标共识、手段共识和人口统计同质性与企业绩效正相关，且在稳定行业环境中更强，但采用更严谨方法后未能复制先前研究的显著结果，建议未来研究者谨慎对待相关方法论陷阱。
In this study, we hypothesized that relationships among top managers' goals consensus, means consensus, demographic homogeneity and firm performance would be positive and stronger in a stable industry environment than in a dynamic one. Utilizing a more rigorous methodology, the significant findings of earlier studies could not be replicated. Although the questions remain interesting and important ones, we believe pursuing this line of inquiry further will yield results inconsistent at best and fruitless at worst. Therefore, we urge future researchers to cautiously tread the perilous methodologic minefield that led to our nonfindings.
