在企業決策過程中，高階管理團隊(Top management team, TMT)扮演相當關鍵角色，其成員特質如教育程度、專業背景、國外經驗…等，將影響管理能力、最終策略制定，甚至是整個企業的興衰。本研究觀察TMT對於多國公司策略之影響，以資源基礎觀點出發，探討TMT資源稟賦多寡、資源異質性與資源僵固性，並加入國外經驗、薪資組合及水準等多樣變數加以驗證，探討高階管理團隊特質對多國公司策略選擇(國際化程度、多角化程度)及績效之影響。
本研究透過Osiris資料庫，選出2010年美國上市母公司共697家作為研究樣本，鎖定相同產業以資訊科技業為研究重點。研究結果發現，透過迴歸分析，TMT資源僵固性對於公司決策選擇及績效有負向影響，TMT資源稟賦對於公司決策選擇及績效有正向影響，TMT資源異質性對於國際化程度有正向影響，對於多角化則是負向影響。藉由研究可發現高階管理團隊在組織決策選擇及績效表現上佔有相當重要之位置。

Top management team (TMT) plays an important role during the process of making strategic decisions. Top executives make strategic choice on the basis of their cognitive base so the team members’ characteristics, such as education level, international experience, tenure, etc, will affect their abilities of management and even the outcome of a multinational enterprise.
Drawing on the resource-based view, this paper examines the relationship between top management team characteristics (TMT resource rigidity, TMT resource endowment, TMT resource heterogeneity) and multinational enterprise’s strategic choice (internationalization & diversification) and performance. Samples focus on the information technologies industry, and we collected 697 US-base listed parent companies through ORISIS database. The time period is 2010.
Through this research, it shows that TMT’s rigidity has negative impact on MNE’s Strategic Choice and Performance, and TMT’s endowment has positive impact on MNE’s Strategic Choice and Performance. Furthermore, TMT’s heterogeneity has positive impact on internationalization and negative impact on MNE’s diversification. According to the results, we can find that top management team stands a very important position in the process of making strategic decisions
