摘　　要：面临衰退威胁的企业往往期望变更C E O以摆脱困境,然而何种战略能帮助继任CEO实现企业业绩反转,现有研究未能给出解答。基于此,本文将权力理论引入研究框架,运用模糊集定性比较分析方法,以2006—2016年变更CEO的民营制造类衰退企业为研究对象,探索了衰退企业继任CEO、董事会之间的权力制衡关系与反转战略的组合匹配对业绩反转的影响,归纳出“董事会主导×防御型”“外部CEO主导×探索型”“内部CEO主导×防御型”三种反转模式,发现了“董事会为主、CEO为辅”和“CEO为主、董事会监督和咨询为辅”两类制衡关系中主导者动机和能力与战略的匹配,是实现业绩反转的关键,支持了新战略领导层之间的互动关系与企业战略导向的匹配会影响反转战略有效性的命题,丰富了衰退企业业绩反转研究的理论视角和研究方法。Recession refers to the sustained decline in corporate performance or resource base over a specific period of time.Even enterprises operating in high-growth industries may experience varying degrees of recession.Faced with the threat of recession,enterprises often consider changing their CEO as a means to overcome the challenges.However,existing research has not yet reached a consensus on which strategies can help the successor CEO achieve the performance turnaround.Strategy is more of a potential value.Whether it is prospective strategy or defensive strategy,it may help enterprises achieve performance turnaround.Nevertheless,the effectiveness of these strategies plays a more critical role than the strategy itself in driving a successful turnaround.For declining enterprises,the efficacy of their turnaround strategy is closely related to their strategic leadership responsible for decision-making and guiding strategy implementation.Especially for enterprises that change their CEO due to declining performance,both the successor CEO and board of directors must collaborate to steer the enterprise out of its predicament.Therefore,for declining enterprises that change their CEO,achieving performance turnaround involves three levels:CEO,board of directors,and strategic orientation,char-acterized by causal complexity.Drawing on the power theory,this paper introduces the power balance relationship between the successor CEO and the board of di-rectors into the study of performance turnaround.From a strategic matching perspective,this paper explores how the power balance relationship between new strategic leadership(the successor CEO and the board of directors)and the alignment of turnaround strate-gy influence performance reversal in declining enterprises.Using the declining private manufacturing enterprises with CEO succession events from 2006 to 2016 as research samples,we employ the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis(fsQCA)method to reveal how different characteristic conditions of successor CEO,board of director
