Top Management Team Characteristics and Strategic Changes in International Diversification
研究了1980年代美国跨国公司在欧洲的子公司中，高层管理团队的人口统计特征（如任职年限和职能背景）如何影响国际多元化战略的变化。
This study examined the relationship of top management team (TMT) composition to strategic changes in international diversification of a sample of U. S. multinationals in Europe during the 1980s. The findings indicate that international diversification of U. S. multinationals in Europe increased and that certain TMT demographics were significantly associated with such change. Specifically, the results indicate that greater TMT organizational tenure was positively associated and TMT core functional specialization negatively associated with increases in international diversification. A top management team’s cognitive perspectives as reflected in team demographic characteristics influence the degree of change in international diversification of the multinationals in the sample.
