Receipt of information and influence over decisions in hospitals by the board, chief executive officer and medical staff
Article Abstract:
This examines relationships between receipt of internal administrative information in hospitals, influence over general management decisions, and the extent to which certain organizational characteristics predict the receipt of information by each of the three major groups in hospitals: the board, the CEO, and the medical staff. Using a US national sample of 287 non-profit community hospitals, CEOs were found to receive the greatest amount of information and had highest influence while medical staffs were lowest on both measures. Of five major organizational characteristics, hospital size emerged as the single strongest predictor of receipt of information for both boards (beta = - 0.28, p is less than or equal to 0.001) and medical staffs (beta = - 0.42, p is less than or equal to 0.001). Overall, the five dependent variables explained 18 per cent of the variance in receipt of information by boards and 28 per cent of the variance for medical staffs.

CEO experience and diversification strategy fit
Article Abstract:
Recent years have seen major progress on research into the concept of fit. Also emerging in the literature is an apparent interest in the importance of executive know-how and experience. This article combines the two areas by considering the impact of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) experience upon strategy adoption and corporate performance in the post-implementation strategy phase. Using a sample of 52 US companies from the top 1000, we have examined the relationship between CEO experience and the separate strategies of internal and acquisitive diversification. The results suggest that CEO experience is not a major factor in strategy selection but where a fit exists between the selected strategy and observed experience, post-implementation performance is affected.
