Guided by notions form the literature on organizational learning, this paper investigates how product line experimentation and organizational performance change across the careers of top managers. Its subjects are the studio heads who ran all the major hollywood film studios from 1935 to 1965. The study found first, that product line experimentation declines over the course of executive tenures : second, that there is an inverse U - shaped relationship between top executive tenure and an organization's financial performance, and third, that product line experimentation is more likely to benefit financial performance late in top executives' tenures. These findings are consistent with a three - stage "executive life cycle". During the early years of their tenures, top managers experiment intensively with their product lines to learn about their business, later on their accumulated knowledge allows them to reduce experimentation and increase performance, finally, in their last years, executive reduce experimentation still further, and performance declines.
