Abstract:

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) human capital plays a significant role in both CEOs’ strategic decisions and their selection and compensation processes. This role is shaped by CEO individual level expertise and the interaction of CEO with both Top Management Team (TMT) and board members. As executive leadership is more likely to be a prominent determinant of firms’ strategic direction in the EM context, considering the interrelatedness of CEO generalist experience and chair generalist experience will provide important granular insights on the internationalization behavior of EM firms. In this study, we try to understand how CEO and Chair human capital specificity (generalist vs. specialist) has an impact on FDI motivation of Turkish MNEs. The study is based on a sample of 85 completed cross-border merger and acquisitions by Turkish MNEs for the years of 1997-2021. We try to contribute to the strategic leadership and upper echelons domain by investigating how key decision-makers’ human capital impact strategic decisions with regard to internationalization and FDI motivations. Also, we aim to deliver new insights on the CEO-Board interaction mechanisms in EM contexts

Greenlands Masterclass - An Invitation to The Thinking Environment

14 May 2024 · Greenlands masterclass
*Exclusive to Henley Partnership members* ‘The most valuable thing we can offer each other is the framework in which to think for ourselves.’ Nancy Kline Some of the challenges we face today are those created yesterday. Increasingly, people are becoming victims of dependence on the thinking of others, through fear of not being right, rather than being able to generate their own best thinking. Imagine an environment where we re-cultivate the desire to think for ourselves, rather than collapsing into the thinking of another. In this, the Thinking Environment, our independent thinking releases our innate creativity, compassion and connection to be resilient in the face of complexity and uncertainty.
