Abstract

This chapter discusses the theoretical framework covering the relationship between top management team diversity determinants and certain organization-level variables in order to capture the essence of possible strategic outcomes. Accordingly, it attempts to summarize and clarify the theoretical and empirical literature regarding the effects of diversity on the functioning of top management teams. In this sense, the main aim of this study is to contribute to and improve the current literature on diversity through the viewpoint of strategic international business literature by directly focusing on the organizational unit—top management teams—which is responsible for formulating and implementing strategies that will leverage organizational performance in the long run.
