Top management team (TMT) heterogeneity research has not yet clearly revealed whether surface-level diversity (i.e., national culture, gender, age) contributes to or detracts from a firm’s financial performance and has not focused on how strategic change frequency (number international diversification or refocusing activities) serves as an intervening mechanism. Based on a sample of 1,993 firms between 2003 and 2015, we examine the mediating role of strategic change frequency in the relationship between surface-level diversity and long-term firm performance. Grounded in the upper echelons perspective, we find that TMT surface-level diversity increases rather than decreases strategic change frequency. Furthermore, our results are consistent with our hypothesized positive relationship between strategic change frequency and long-term firm performance. More important, we also find support for a longitudinal-based mediation model in which strategic change frequency in terms of diversification/refocusing actions (Time 2) transmits the positive effect of TMT surface-level diversity (Time 1) to long-term financial performance (Time 3) without accounting for any moderated conditions suggesting that mediation models warrant more utilization in the upper echelons research and internationalization research domains. Implications for the upper echelons theory in a more global world as if relates to the often unexplored surface-level diversity are offered.

高层管理团队表面多元化、战略变革和公司长期绩效:中介模型调查

高层管理团队 (TMT) 异质性研究尚未明确揭示表面层面的多样性(即国家文化、性别、年龄)是否有助于或减损公司的财务业绩,也没有关注战略变革频率(数字国际多元化)或重新聚焦活动)作为一种干预机制。基于 2003 年至 2015 年间 1,993 家公司的样本,我们研究了战略变更频率在表面多样性与公司长期绩效之间的关系中的中介作用。基于高层的观点,我们发现 TMT 表层多样性增加而不是减少战略变化频率。此外,我们的结果与我们假设的战略变更频率与长期公司绩效之间的正相关关系一致。更重要的是,我们还发现了对基于纵向的中介模型的支持,在该模型中,多元化/重新聚焦行动(时间 2)方面的战略变化频率将 TMT 表面多样性(时间 1)的积极影响传递给长期财务业绩(时间 3)没有考虑任何缓和条件,这表明中介模型需要在上层研究和国际化研究领域得到更多利用。提供了对更全球化世界中上层梯队理论的影响,好像与经常未探索的地表多样性有关。我们还发现对基于纵向的中介模型的支持,在该模型中,多元化/重新聚焦行动(时间 2)方面的战略变化频率将 TMT 表面多样性(时间 1)的积极影响传递到长期财务绩效(时间 3) ) 没有考虑任何缓和条件,这表明中介模型需要在上层研究和国际化研究领域得到更多利用。提供了对更全球化世界中上层梯队理论的影响,好像与经常未探索的地表多样性有关。我们还发现对基于纵向的中介模型的支持,在该模型中,多元化/重新聚焦行动(时间 2)方面的战略变化频率将 TMT 表面多样性(时间 1)的积极影响传递到长期财务绩效(时间 3) ) 没有考虑任何缓和条件,这表明中介模型需要在上层研究和国际化研究领域得到更多利用。提供了对更全球化世界中上层梯队理论的影响,好像与经常未探索的地表多样性有关。
