Abstract: Tracing backward the career paths of the key executives of Business Week’s 1990 listing of the 1000 most valuable publicly held companies, we empirically examined the impact of announced changes in key executive plurality on stockholder returns. We found the more complete the position consolidation, the more negative were the shareholder responses. To attempt to gain further understanding, the additional variables of executive’s origin, the size of the board of directors of the firm, the proportion of outsiders on the board, and prior firm performance were examined. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
