Abstract
This paper is concerned with the interfirm mobility of managers in British industry. Its aim is both to provide much-needed documentation of the mobility of these managers and to clarify in relation to this occupational group certain explanatory propositions put forward by theorists of interorganizational mobility. Data were derived from a national sample of managers in manufacturing and nonmanufacturing sectors of industry. The analysis introduces both variables related to individual managers, such as age, education and specialization, and variables related to context, such as size of organization and type of technology.Keywords
