Abstract
Despite major changes in French business during the past decade, the profile of the French CEO has changed little. Top managers remain graduates of elite professional schools with prestigious civil service corps membership, lengthy careers in state service, and relatively short business careers. This article assesses the impact of this system on French management, relying in part on a series of interviews conducted in France with over 40 top business and government officials. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
