Determinants of Executive Tenure in Large US Firms

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between executive tenure and selected company characteristics for 196 US corporations. Tenure was found to be negatively related to both unrelated and related diversification strategies, and positively related to firm performance and both types of ownership structure: stock concentration and management stockholdings.
