Abstract

This study investigates the influence of time on the demographics of the top executive team. The functional heterogeneity of the team decreases over periods of convergence (stability) and increases when a strategic reorientation (discontinuous change) occurs. The variation in tenure between reorientations has a U-shaped trend. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
