✦ Synopsis
In this study, we hypothesized that relationships among top managers' goals consensus, means consensus, demographic homogeneity and j r m peqormance would be positive and stronger in a stable industry environment than in a dynamic one. Utilizing a more rigorous methodology, the signijcant findings of earlier studies could not be replicated. Although the questions remain interesting and important ones, we believe pursuing this line of inquiry further will yield results
inconsistent at best and fruitless at worst. Therefore, we urge future researchers to cautiously tread the perilous methodologic minejeld that led to our nonfindings.
