摘要

我们利用行为策略、恐惧管理和创伤后成长理论来研究董事突然死亡如何影响公司的冒险行为。出现了两种相反的预测。一是董事去世会引发焦虑,促使首席执行官对自己的工作不那么投入,降低公司的冒险倾向。另一种情况是,一位董事的去世可能会引发死亡反思,促使CEO追求更高层次的目标,启动更多具有重大不确定性的项目。基于美国上市公司样本的结果表明,虽然董事死亡可能会减少公司的长期投资,但这一事件可能会加剧战略不一致性。我们的研究结果表明,董事死亡对公司战略的影响可能比现有文献所表明的更为微妙。

Letting go or pushing forward: Director death and firm risk-taking

We draw on behavioral strategy, terror management, and post traumatic growth theories to examine how a sudden director death may affect firm risk-taking. Two opposing predictions are developed. One is that a director death can trigger anxiety, prompting a CEO to become less committed to his or her job and decreasing a firm's risk-taking tendency. Alternatively, the passing of a director may evoke death reflection, inducing a CEO to pursue higher-order goals and initiate more projects with substantial uncertainties. Results based on a sample of publicly traded firms in the United States suggest that while a director death may diminish firm long-term investment, this event could fuel strategic nonconformity. Our findings suggest that the impact of director death on firm strategies could be more nuanced than the existing literature has suggested.

The primary user base of LRP primarily comprises individuals from academic backgrounds, with the journal playing a dual role within this community.
