Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

Research on the performance effects of CEO succession origin provides inconsistent results. We argue that the performance benefits of outside CEO succession outweigh the costs when the CEO: (a) socio-demographically resembles incumbent executives, (b) has diverse international experience, (c) is hired by a well-performing firm operating in a munificent industry.
