The genesis of top management team diversity: Selective turnover among top management teams in Dutch newspaper publishing, 1970-94
Article Abstract:
A longitudinal model explaining diversity within top executive management teams from the perspective of selective turnover is developed and tested on a population of top executive teams of the Big Five Dutch publishers over a 25-year period. It is proposed that executive team power strengthens a cycle of 'homosocial reproduction' that is interrupted only when teams face compelling needs for diversity as poor organizational performance, and tough market competition.
