On studying managerial elites
综合评述了管理精英研究的三大传统:连锁董事与制度社会权力、董事会与董事研究、高管团队构成与关联,并呼吁发展结合情境与过程分析的新传统。
The study of managerial elites is one of the most important, yet neglected areas of social science research. This paper synthesizes and critically reviews three intellectual traditions in the study of managerial elites. These are: interlocking directorates and the study of institutional and societal power, the study of boards and directors, and the composition and correlates of top management teams. The paper concludes by arguing for the development of a complementary research tradition which combines a contextual and processual analysis of managerial elites.
