| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, my contributions are following. Firstly, I review existing literature of upper echelons perspective and discuss future research directions. Second, I analyze the relationship between resource dependence and executive co-optation and find that the more the firm depend not only on lenders but also on stock-holders, the less the firm has power. Thirdly, this research employs the escalation theory and demonstrates that increasing management accountability and monitoring by outside directors leads to the commitment escalation. Our argument is that the number of outside directors, which we usually assume increase the quality of corporate governance, has negative relationship with investment escalation.
