Research On The Forced CEO Turnover Change Correlation

Organizational change was proposed in the last century, and since then, many scholars paied much attention on it. After decades of development, scholars from different fields continuous to analyze organizational change from different perspectives."interia" has been always considered as the opposite oppinion of change. Scholars analyze the mechanisms between change and interia. However, some scholars found that change and interia can be unified, the change may also have interia. So, some researchers pay attentiao to change correlation(the effect of prior changes to future changes). From prior researchs, it can be basically concluded, prior changes increase the possibility of future changes, until Nikolaus, Josef and Michael (2008) proposed the opposite view, that the prior changes will reduce the possibility of future changes.CEO as the commander of bussiness operations, is essential for the survival and dewelopment of enterprise. Many scholars from home and abroad have been focused on the CEO turnover. Scholars study the factors which have impact on CEO turnover, the mechanisms of successor and the effects of CEO turnover for enterprise by selecting different samples. In our study we selecte the change of leadership as the dimension of change correlation. Firstly, we have a review of the literatures and theories which is relevant with our paper. Based on it, we put forward our model and assumptions. We using Chinese CEO turnover during2006-2010. In our study, we add the prior changes as a variable besides some normal variables. We use SPSS17.0to analyze our datas which is include correlation analysis, regression analysis and so on to verify the exsistence of change correlation. Then we do difference analysis depending on the corporate nature and CEO duality in order to study the effects of corporate nature and CEO dualitiy on change correlation.In our study, we found that, firstly, the change correlation is exsited, and it is governed by deceleration(prior changes will drop the prossibility of future change). Secondly, corporate nature have no influence on change correlation, change correlation does not differ because of the difference of corporate nature. Finally, CEO duality have influence on change correlation, change correlation may differ because of the difference of CEO duality.
