Abstract: | Past research has not empirically studied strategic change as a function of the combined effects of organizational performance and managerial characteristics. This study explores an integrated model of strategic change that takes into account the direct and interactive effects of performance with chief executive and top management characteristics. Poor performance, long chief executive and top management team tenures and high diversity in top team tenure are associated with greater levels of strategic change. Poor performance moderated the relationship between managerial characteristics and strategic change, increasing the probability of the latter. |
