Minnick honored with Best Paper Award from premier finance journal
Professor Kristi Minnick received the Best Paper Award from Corporate Governance: An International Review for “CEO turnover: Cross-country effects,” which examines how different countries’ cultural and legal environments, in addition to firm-level governance mechanisms, affect board decisions to retain or terminate CEOs.
The study found that boards in cultures characterized by higher individualism, competition and stronger views that hard work leads to success are more likely to replace CEOs in response to poor shareholder performance. Conversely, boards operating in cultures that are more corrupt and more protective of employees exhibit lower turnover–performance sensitivity.
