　　讲座主要内容：

　　This study investigated the impact of a firm’s top leader (i.e. CEO or Chairperson) gender on firm acquisitions. We propose that female top leaders face more power loss concerns than male top leaders because of the negative stereotypes and prejudice associated with a female leader rather than a male leader. We further propose that such higher power loss concerns prompt female leaders to engage in more acquisitions to cope with such concerns. In addition, the effects of a female top leader on firm acquisitions are weakened by female representation in the firm’s upper-echelon but strengthened by leadership instability. Data based on Chinese listed firms provide support for our arguments.
