Ownership structure, firm performance and top executive change: an analysis of UK firms

Article Abstract:

Research on corporate management has led to debates on whether or not poor company performance is closely linked to sudden top management changes. A study was conducted to investigate this subject by scrutinizing a sample of 2,643 UK firms which announced 2,729 board changes over a 48-month time span from Jan 1, 1989, to Dec 31, 1992. The study focused on the link between the probability of a top executive's resignation from the company and company share performance in the period prior to his departure and the link between the firms' shareholdings and the market value of their shares.
