title = "TMT demography, conflict and (effective) decision making: The key role of value congruence",
abstract = "Demographic heterogeneity and conflict have both been shown to influence the effectiveness of top management team (TMT) decision making. While there is evidence of positive and negative effects, there is also evidence linking heterogeneity and conflict together, which makes for a complicated set of relationships and implications. Drawing upon action theory (Parsons, 1937), we argue that values and value congruence are key and overlooked determinants of how heterogeneity affects conflict and how heterogeneity and conflict together influence the effectiveness of TMT decision making.",
