讲座简介：Scholars have long recognized that executives are often dismissed after scandals. We extend this line of research by exploring the distinct implications of executives' social capital for their dismissal following a scandal. Using firms' financial fraud and executives' personal indiscretion as examples, we highlight that the impact of social capital on dismissal in the wake of a scandal is largely determined by executives' culpability. Based on a sample of public firms in China, our central finding is that while an executive's social  captical can help reduce the likelihood of being dismissed as a scapegoat following financial fraud, it becomes a liability for executives who engage in personal indiscretion, increasing the likelihood that firms will dismiss these compromised executives.
