“…Academic executives ( Terpstra and Rozell, 1998 ), on the other hand, are more concentrated on technological innovation, have a profound understanding of innovation’s significance ( Clements and Izan, 2008 ), and are more inclined to utilize innovation funds received by their companies in innovation activities ( Finkelstein and Hambrick, 1990 ). Therefore, academic executives can, to some extent, restrain the short-sightedness of corporate executive teams ( Ogbanufe et al, 2021 ) and encourage the use of innovation grants by enterprises ( Darouichi et al, 2021 ) in order to improve their innovation efforts and ensure their long-term growth.…”

The government employs innovation subsidies as a key incentive strategy to promote companies to innovate more technically. This study analyses how innovation subsidies influences the quality of corporate innovation. We create an innovation quality index for pharmaceutical corporations using categorizing data from patent applications submitted by pharmaceutical companies. Using data from 180 listed Chinese pharmaceutical companies between 2010 and 2020, this study proposes a panel regression model to assess the influence of government innovation subsidies on innovation quality, as well as the moderating effect of CEOs’ academic capital. How well innovations are subsidized is also affected by the heterogeneity of property rights. Innovation subsidy has a greater and more positive impact on non-SOEs. This article demonstrates that CEOs with academic credentials and executives with ties to the pharmaceutical industry have a variety of moderate effects. The research offers novel suggestions for enhancing business creativity and the innovation subsidy programme.

“…We focused on these two profiles of the CEO for the following reasons. CEO tenure, the time a person spends in the CEO position, is multifaceted and complex, and its implication on CSR is still not well understood [15]. The presence of foreigners in the upper echelons of management is an intriguing topic of growing interest as many firms around the world have embarked on internationalization agenda.…”

CEO Characteristics, Family Ownership and Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting: The Case of Saudi Arabia

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Only a few studies have investigated the association between the characteristics of the chief executive officer (CEO) (i.e., tenure and local or expatriate) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting. Our study adds to the fledgling literature by providing new evidence from Saudi Arabia. Given the dominance of family control among Saudi Arabian listed firms, additionally, this study examined the moderating effect of family ownership on the CEO-CSR relationship. Using CSR scores from Bloomberg database from 2010 to 2019 and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, the findings reveal that the association between CEO tenure and CSR reporting is positively significant; however, the association between CEO nationality and CSR is not significant. In addition, the findings indicate that family ownership is an important contingency factor that explains the association between CEO tenure and CEO nationality, and CSR reporting. Our study contributes to an emerging line of CSR research that investigates the effects of foreign CEOs on CSR transparency, and supports prior evidence on the benefits to investors of having long-serving CEO and the costs of family entrenchment.

“…Tenure refers to the length of time that an individual has held a particular professional role. One striking finding emerging from our review was scholars' heavy, ongoing focus on executive tenure as a background variable of interest (see Darouichi et al, 2021). In our sample of 216 studies, around half (107) included tenure as either an independent variable, a moderator, or a dependent variable.…”

“…Prior related work in this area falls into three separate categories. First, several reviews have explored the strategic leadership literature more generally (e.g., Busenbark, Krause, Boivie, & Graffin, 2016;Neely, Lovelace, Cowen, & Hiller, 2020) or have focused on specific topics that are sometimes included in studies of executive background, such as Wowak, Gomez-Mejia, and Steinbach's (2017) review of executive rewards; Bromiley and Rau's (2016) review of the CEO-top management team (TMT) interface literature; Menz's (2012) review of functional members of the TMT (e.g., chief operating officers [COOs], chief marketing officers [CMOs]); and Darouichi, Kunisch, Menz, and Cannella's (2021) recent review of the CEO tenure literature. Second, other authors have reviewed specific theories that are relevant to executive background research, such as Marquis and Tilcsik's (2013) and Simsek, Heavy, and Fox's (2018) reviews of imprinting theory and Li's (2013) review of social capital in leadership.…”

This study reviews several decades of research on the topic of executive background, defined here as the total of an executive's “experience, knowledge, and education.” We consider work from both management and nonmanagement sources and from both macro and micro sources within management. Our review of 216 published empirical articles is structured around a series of widely studied executive background characteristics and categories, including tenure, functional background, knowledge and education, outsider/insider status, other professional experiences, and experiences outside the workplace. This narrative review is underpinned and informed by an inductively derived framework comprised of five key dimensions that represent distinct ways in which specific experiences can be conceptualized: visibility, timing, frequency, discreteness, and agency. We conclude our narrative review with a quantitative, bibliometric analysis illustrating some of the key patterns within the most recent work in this domain. Finally, we use the insights arising from our review to provide a set of theoretical and methodological recommendations for future work in this area.
