CEO Career Variety: Effects on Firm-Level Strategic and Social Novelty
Abstract
We introduce the concept of “CEO career variety”—defined as the array of distinct professional and institutional experiences an executive has had prior to becoming CEO. Using a longitudinal sample of Fortune 250 CEOs, we hypothesize, and find strong evidence for the assertion, that CEO career variety is positively associated with firm-level strategic novelty—manifested in strategic dynamism (period-on-period change) and strategic distinctiveness (deviance from industry central tendencies). We also find mixed evidence that CEO career variety is positively associated with social novelty—manifested in top management team turnover and heterogeneity.

“Results were unchanged when we instead omitted the missing variables for those firm-years or imputed the missing values based on the other strategic dynamism components (Royston, 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
