(2011)At a small manufacturer, most of a transformation happened after its champion CEO left and an unsupportive former CEO returned, with supervisors, staff and new systems filling the leadership gap.Noda & Bower (1996)Firms facing similar new-business opportunities ended up with different commitments: early results raised or lowered middle managers' enthusiasm and top managers' confidence in them, and repeated funding rounds escalated or wound down the bet.Huy et al.
