Abstract: We predict that the media reports on female CEOs as a coherent group, whereas male CEOs are treated as individuals by the media. We also suggest that the resulting investors’ perceptions of group entitativity of female-led ?rms may not only in?uence the succession event–performance relationship at the focal ?rm, but may also have a signi?cant effect on the value of other female-led companies. Results of a text analysis and an event study of appointments of female CEOs to Fortune 1000 ?rms provide support for these predictions.
