Abstract

This work is aimed at investigating the factors that can foster CEO turnover, being acknowledged as one of the most crucial events in a firm’s life. The study examines CEO turnover before and after the IPO process, looking at firms going or recently gone public, with a specific focus on the effect of performance and the institutional context. The empirical analysis is based on a sample of non-financial companies listed on the Italian Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange in the period 2000-2009.
