CEO power has been extensively studied across various disciplines and country contexts. Despite the exponential growth of research, there has been limited effort to integrate the vast body of literature. Using bibliometric and other analytical techniques we apply to the 580 articles in our review, we identify and discuss the topics and major research streams considered in CEO power research and their evolution over the years. We also highlight several shortcomings in the existing literature, including four pressing challenges concerning unclear conceptualizations, varied measurement and methods, the under-contextualized nature of CEO power across international contexts, and a lack of attention to how the changing corporate governance landscape has affected CEO power. We provide a roadmap for future scholarship by offering suggestions for addressing these pressing challenges. Finally, we provide several new and promising research directions in our discussion.
