Abstract
The relationship between enterprise culture and enterprise performance and the relationship between top management team (TMT) and enterprise performance have been the hot topics which academy and business circles focused on since Pettigrew put forward the "organizational culture"; Hambrick and Mason proposed the "upper echelons theory". However, previous studies on the relationship between enterprise culture and enterprise performance and the relationship between TMT and enterprise performance were carried out according to two parallel lines, with almost no crossover studies on them. This paper will combine both of them together organically in order to study respectively the relationship between enterprise culture and enterprise performance, the relationship between TMT interaction and enterprise performance as well as the relationship between TMT interaction and enterprise culture and then put forward the research theoretical frameworks on the basis of reviewing previous studies on the enterprise culture, TMT and enterprise performance. Finally, the effect of TMT interaction on enterprise performance from the perspective of enterprises culture will be studied.
Key words: Enterprise culture, top management team (TMT), team interaction, enterprise performance.
