Generalist CEO vs. specialist CEO

Abstract

Die Risikobereitschaft führender Manager steht seit langem im Mittelpunkt der Forschungsinteresse der Wissenschafter. Es wurden viele Konzepte entwickelt, die zeigen, unter welchen Umständen ein CEO bereit ist, riskante Entscheidungen in seiner Firma zu treffen. In meiner Forschung versuche ich als aller Erstes zu sehen, welche mögliche Beziehung es zwischen Forschung und Entwicklung, sowie diesen beiden Elementen und einem CEO, der eine vielfältige Arbeitserfahrung hat besteht. In meiner Arbeit entschied ich mich dafür, Forschung und Entwicklung als Hauptrisikoentscheidungen zu verwenden, die CEOs im Laufe ihrer Karriere machen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass vielfältige Arbeitserfahrungen einen positiven Effekt auf das Risikoverhalten der CEOs haben. In meiner Forschung zerlege ich die verschiedenen Arbeitserfahrungen in drei Komponenten nach Custodio et al. - Anzahl der Unternehmen, Anzahl der Branchen und Anzahl der Stellen - um besser zu verstehen, was die Risikobereitschaft am stärksten beeinflusst. In der vorliegenden Arbeit versuche ich auch herauszufinden, ob die Risikobereitschaft eines CEOs durch die Erhaltung eines sozial negativen Feedback zunimmt. Ich gehe davon aus, dass CEOs, die für verschiedene Unternehmen und in verschiedenen Branchen gearbeitet haben, mehr auf sozial negatives Feedback achten, und beihane nicht von dem historisch negativen Feedback beeinflusst werden. Die Forschungsergebnisse haben meine Annahme jedoch nicht bestätigt, weshalb es nicht angenommen werden kann, dass das soziale Feedback eine stärkere Auswirkung auf Führungskräfte als das historische hat.

Risk-taking by leading managers has been the center of researchers’ attention for a long time. Many concepts were developed under what circumstances CEOs are ready to make risky decisions in their organizations. In my research I first try to see what relationship exists between research and development and a CEO, who has diverse work experience. I decided to use research and development as a main risk-taking decision CEOs make. The results show strong evidence that there exists a positive effect of diverse work experience on risk-taking behavior of CEOs. I also decompose diverse work experience into three components after Custodio et al. – number of firms, number of industries and number of positions – to get a better understanding on what has the greatest impact on risk-taking. I then try to find whether risk-taking increases when CEOs are getting negative social performance feedback. I predict that once CEOs have worked for a lot of different companies and in a lot of different industries, they pay more attention to negative social feedback and are not affected that much by negative historical feedback. The results did not support my assumption, so I cannot say that social feedback has a stronger effect on leading managers than historical feedback.
