Description
The Changing C-Suite Executive Power in Transformation by José Luis Alvarez and Silviya Svejenova explores the evolving ways in which power at the apex of complex organizations is structured through roles and relationships. Over the last two decades, new Chief X Officer (CXO) roles have proliferated, reflecting diverse contingencies and interests. This book develops a theoretical account, combined with rich empirical illustration, to enhance our understanding of these elites' new command posts, sources of expertise and identity, competition and collaboration, and ways of getting things done. By examining the emergence and evolution of CXO positions, the authors shed light on the changing design of executive power and the action means of senior executives. The book provides a nuanced perspective on organizations, highlighting moments of structural transformation as key to assessing their political model.
