La Upper Echelon Theory (Teoría del Escalón o Nivel Superior) de Hambrick y Mason (1984) se ha caracterizado, a lo largo del tiempo, por ser una corriente de pensamiento: a) con una gran repercusión en la literatura organizativa/estratégica; b) que ha trascendido desde el núcleo de conocimiento organizativo de origen hacia otras áreas cognitivas como el Marketing y la Psicología; y b) que, después de veinte años y un gran debate/controversia, no sólo aún pervive y se enriquece, sino que sigue despertando un gran interés tanto en el mundo académico como empresarial. Un gran debate al que nos sumamos con este trabajo tratando de aportar, al igual que otros, un poco de luz. Para ello, nos valdremos de los resultados obtenidos tras realizar una revisión bibliográfica de las investigaciones publicadas en relación con la Upper Echelon Theory en las principales publicaciones norteamericanas a lo largo de los últimos veinte años.
The Upper Echelon Theory of Hambrick and Mason (1984) has been characterized, throughout the time, for being a current of thought: a) with a great repercussion in the organizational/strategic literature; b) that it has have come out from the nucleus of organizational knowledge of origin towards other cognitive areas as the Marketing and the Psychology; and c) that, after twenty years and a great debate/controversy, not only still go on and prospers, but it continues waking a great interest up so much in the academic as managerial world. We add to this debate with this work trying to reach, as others, a bit from light. For it, we will use of the results obtained in this work after realizing a bibliographical review of the investigations published in relation with the Upper Echelon Theory in the major journals of USA across the last twenty years.
