description In this paper, I review the literatures about Upper Echelons Theory. Specifically, I focus on the related theories, including agency theory, five-factor model, cognitive theory, and heterogeneity theory, and so on; and the economic influences of Upper Echelons Theory, including the corporate top management (team) and administrative officials.
