Upper Echelons Theory: An Update
回顾了高层梯队理论的原始提出(Hambrick & Mason, 1984),讨论了后续的改进,并指出了未来研究的方向,适合对高管决策和战略管理感兴趣的学者。
The central premise of upper echelons theory is that executives' experiences, values, and personalities greatly influence their interpretations of the situations they face and, in turn, affect their choices. At the invitation of the editor, I recap the AMR article in which the theory was originally presented (Hambrick & Mason, 1984), discuss subsequent refinements of the theory, and lay out several promising avenues for future upper echelons research.
