Research on the Top Management Team Behavioral Integration, Strategic Decision Speed and Firm Performance towards Time-Based Competition

Abstract

We study on the relation of top management team behavior integration, strategic decision-making speed and firm performance towards time-based competition. the behavior integration level of top management team has a positive directly impact on the strategic decision speed. Furthermore, the behavior integration level of top management team has a positive directly impact on the strategic firm performance. Therefore, we can see that the various dimensions of team behavior integrate not only have a direct impact on firm performance but also have indirect impact on firm performance through strategic decision-making speed. Important aspects of this paper are that (1) we research on the relation of top management team behavioral integration, strategic decision speed and firm performance towards time-based competition, and (2) it offers large sample support of a theory begun by Eisenhardt (1989) and Judge and Miller (1991) that decision speed affects firm performance. We also expanded strategic decision speed research by the introduction of team behavior integration.
