| Abstract: | This study reviews recent research building on Hambrick and Masons (Hambrick, D.C., and Mason, P.A.,1984) upper echelons (UE) perspective with the aim of identifying challenges and opportunities for future UE-based organizations research. This review highlights a number of central facets of the UE perspective. It is a theoretical framework and a methodology. Organizations researchers are challenged to 1. reconsider the universality of the top management team (TMT) construct, 2. carefully explore the practical and theoretical meaning of TMT demographic characteristics, 3. integrate other determinants of managerial cognition and behaviour into UE theorizing, and 4. revisit the roles of causality and intertemporal dynamics among the antecedents, consequences, and composition of TMTs. |
