Abstract

The migration of an executive manager from one company to another involves not only the recruitment of a capability set but also the transfer of organizational knowledge. In order to account for a range of dependencies among companies in such migrations, we utilize exponential random graph models to examine executive migrations among large UK companies in a cohort observed in 2006 and 2011. We find executive management migrations related mainly to tenure length, residual income added, particular industrial classifications, company value, cost-benefit per employee and operating revenue to cost per employee at the company of origin. We conclude that company value of the originating firm is used as a heuristic proxy of the value adding capabilities of managers, which reflects an underlying social selection mechanism.
