In exploring key concepts from Hirschman's (1970) Exit, Voice and Loyalty, an analysis of the actions
of corporate executive members is provided in terms of their external role, their internal character and their
resultant personal commitment. Their external roles are further examined in terms of their shared vision,
hierarchical duties and their commitment to values. Their internal characters are further examined in terms of
their personal will, logical thinking and feeling assessment. Their personal commitment is further explained in
terms of their cognitive commitment to new initiatives, the internal process and their political stance in the
corporation.
