Abstract

The corporate coup d'etat is conceptualised as an unexpected leadership change process, initiated, planned and conducted by the target's colleagues, subordinates and/or superiors. Antecedent conditions, such as interpersonal hostilities, poor financial performance and perceived indiscreet behaviour, serve as frequent justifications for the removal. The analysis also examines the sequence of phases typically employed.
