讲座简介

Newly appointed CEOs face liability of newness, especially (1) when predecessor CEOs remain as board chair, and/or (2) when stock market reacts negatively to their appointments, both of which may increase the likelihood of their early dismissal (i.e., dismissal within three years). In this study, we examine how new CEOs may mitigate such elevated risk using social influence tactics of ingratiation and self-promotion. We propose that new CEOs’ use of ingratiation to predecessor CEOs and their past work in the firm creates “liking-based” social approval, which may reduce the impact of predecessors remaining as board chair on the likelihood of their early dismissal. We also propose that new CEOs’ use of self-promotion creates “competence-based” social approval, which may weaken the impact of negative stock market reaction on the likelihood of their early dismissal. To test these arguments, we conduct a computer-aided content analysis to create proxies for CEOs’ use of ingratiation and self-promotion, based upon transcripts of conference calls that a sample of new CEOs had with stock analysts in the first two years of their tenure. Our empirical results provide strong support for our theoretical arguments.
