Abstract
This study examines the influence of board turnover on M&A performance and whether this relationship is influenced by CEO power, within the theoretical context of the resource-based view. Using a sample of 2410 publicly listed North American firms, ordinary least squares regression is performed over the years 2008 to 2018. Robustness is ensured by the incorporation of alternative measurements pertaining to M&A performance, board turnover and CEO power. Primarily, the findings of this study provide evidence for a negative relationship between board turnover and M&A performance. This study, however, does not yield evidence supporting the moderating influence of CEO power on this relationship. Conclusively, this study contributes to the literature on M&A performance by demonstrating the negative impact of board turnover on M&A performance and the absence of a moderation effect of CEO power. Building upon recent contributions to the resource-based view, the findings of this study further corroborate the importance of retaining board members to reduce the loss of significant firm-specific, non- transferable knowledge and experience.
