The 2012 Chief Executive Study:
Time for New CEOs

This is the thirteenth year that Booz & Company has examined CEO successions among the world’s top 2,500 public companies. In 2012, 15.0 percent of CEOs at those companies left office, up from 14.2 percent in 2011; this is the second-highest rate of CEO successions in the history of our study. This year we also found that the incoming class of CEOs is mostly composed of familiar faces.

Our Chief Executive Study now reaches back to 2000 and includes unique evaluations by geography and industry as well as analyses of major trends in corporate governance, such as dual CEO/chairman appointments and how often companies use the apprenticeship model.
