| Abstract: | This article introduces the optimal matching analysis (OMA) to the field of top management research. With this method, this study develops six career patterns of top management team (TMT) members from five countries based on their international experience, organizational tenure and professional experience. The results provide strong support for the significance of these patterns. Each country (Denmark, Germany, Japan, the UK and the US) shows one to four predominant career patterns of their managers and the occurrence of these patterns also differs significantly between the fields of activity within the TMT (chairperson, head of division, primary activities and support activities). |
