Methodology: Two empirical, secondary data-based studies of CEOs in US S&P 500 companies 2005-2007 Practical implications: It becomes clear that hubris and, under certain circumstances, narcissism can have a positive influence on corporate entrepreneurship and the subsequent business success. The CEO personality should be considered when selecting CEOs in compa- nies with certain market conditions. LITERATURVERZEICHNIS Burns, P.
