We propose that executive team power strengthens a cycle of homosocial reproduction that is interrupted only when teams face such compelling needs for diversity as poor organizational performance, high corporate diversification, and tough market competition.

Apparently, top management teams tend to close ranks when environmental complexity and pressure increase. Explanations and new research avenues are discussed.
