The top management team literature: a bibliometric approach
by G. Steven McMillan; Debra L. Casey
International Journal of Bibliometrics in Business and Management (IJBBM), Vol. 1, No. 2, 2018

Abstract: Since the 1984 Academy of Management Review article 'Upper echelons: the organization as a reflection of its top managers', there has been considerable interest in the role of top managers in organisational outcomes. In fact, most the TMT research since the 1980s has been empirically focused with many efforts highlighting demography, power, and board of directors' relationships. While we certainly applaud the empirical efforts, little has been done to advance the theoretical underpinnings of the TMT. And though there have been a number of comprehensive literature reviews, a quantitative bibliometric analysis has not yet been performed. The goal of this paper is to provide such an examination, and to highlight possible future avenues for TMT research.
