The articles we have chosen to include in this special issue provide an interesting combination of theoretical and empirical perspectives. They mirror diverse realities and, consequently different strategic responses to the environmental challenges. While the first two artibles focus on the influence of the Top Management Team on adoption of an ambidextrous behavior and innovation activities to keep the firm’s competitiveness both in the short and long term, the third one pays attention to the impact of CEO changes or continuity in circumstances of organizational crisis and turnover. The debate about whether the CEO or the TMT should be mainly considered as the unit of analysis in research on strategic leadership remains open. The last paper expliclity tries to bring light to this debate by providing a framework based on institutional and cultural conditions
