| Abstract Text | Being approved as the “leader” in a firm is one of the most difficult tasks that a CEO has to accomplish to be efficient and to achieve economic performance as soon as possible. After his election, the immediate task of the new CEO is to be legitimized by the staff because, as Weber noted, when people believe that the CEO is entitled to his position, they will trust his judgment and follow his ideas and plans (Weber, 1968). Moreover, legitimacy “creates trust. Trust, in turn, is a powerful resource in any organization” (Porter and Nohria 2010, p. 29). In this Master’s thesis, thanks to the data received by the Chair of Organization and Management of a Swiss firm, I will investigate how a new CEO builds legitimacy over time within an integration process. |
