Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the origin of chief executive officers and performance in hybrid businesses using a sample of 353 microfinance institutions from 76 countries during 1996-2011. The statistical results suggest that microfinance institutions whose chief executive officers have been recruited internally perform better compared to institutions with externally-hired chief executive officers. The findings are consistent with the view that insider chief executive officers have firm-specific skills, experience and network resources that result in enhanced performance in hybrid businesses. Therefore, boards of microfinance institutions searching for a new chief executive officer should look for suitable internal candidates.
