Guest Editors' Introduction: CEOs' Careers: Emerging Trends and Future Directions

摘要

The field of career studies is increasing in prominence and relevance for modern life in general and working life in particular. CEOs' careers, especially, have received growing attention because their impact goes far beyond their personal sphere. Not surprisingly, this topic has been at the intersection of multiple literatures. In this introduction for the special issue on CEOs' careers, we first review the different perspectives in studying CEOs' careers, and then offer several directions to integrate those multiple perspectives. The articles in this special issue not only provide us with comprehensive new knowledge on CEOs' careers, but also represent valuable examples of how to integrate different perspectives on this topic.
