Excerpt from Impermanent Power, Contested Power: The Circulation of Chief Executive Officers in U. S. Industrial Corporations, 1960-1990
This paper compares and tests two models of power in u.s. Corporations: the model of institutionalization of power, and the model of circulation. These two models provide alternative conceptualizations of intraorganizational politics and of the ability of ceos to develop and maintain stable and cohesive political coalitions that support their power base. The first model has been more prevalent in contemporary organizational theory (salancik and Pfeffer, 1977; Pfeffer, 1981) and posits the ability of ceo's to build upon their power to entrench themselves and perpetuate their power. The second model highlights the contestation and impermanence of the ceo's power, and the increasing obsolescence of and opposition to his executive tenure in the corporation. This paper gives particular attention to the political dynamics of the ceo's power within the board of directors (boeker.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the popular conception that CEOs are able to entrench their power, arguing instead that power is impermanent and subject to a 'circulation of power', with executives constantly grappling with obsolescence and contestation. Drawing on theories of circulating elites developed by Mosca, Pareto, and Michels, the author posits two main mechanisms that lead to the circulation of CEOs: technical and political obsolescence, and the contestation of power. The author presents a model of power dynamics that highlights the political struggles and incessant contestations that are always present within organizations, arguing that the power of the CEO and their coalition is always subject to contestation, with periods of stability being only temporary interruptions of this underlying struggle. This model is contrasted with a more traditional view of institutionalization of power, where power is seen as becoming increasingly entrenched over time. The author tests these competing hypotheses using an event history analysis of CEO transitions in US industrial corporations from 1960-1990, finding greater support for the model of circulation of power. The book offers a fresh perspective on the role of power and politics in shaping organizational behavior, and challenges the assumption that CEOs are able to develop and maintain stable and cohesive political coalitions that support their power base.
