Abstract

In the dynamic environment the role of middle managers is becoming increasingly important in strategic management. From the perspective of middle managers, Using the method of theoretical deduction, this thesis analyses the influence of interaction between top management team and middle managers on the formation of strategic consensus and the moderation effect of manager role on integrating the theories of top management team and middle managers. This study concludes that the more sufficient information exchange between top management team and middle managers, and the greater the cross-influence between top management team and middle managers, the higher the strategic consensus. And the participatory leadership of top management team and the active participation of middle managers play a positive moderating role in the relationship between managers' interaction and strategic consensus.
