Abstract
This paper explores the role of managers' tribal identity in political strategy formulation. Using qualitative data from Ghana, I find that CPA is affected by tribal consonance (similarity) and tribal dissonance (difference) between executives and politicians. Tribal identity constrains discretion and bounds managers on specific paths throughout the political strategy formulation process, resulting in liabilities of tribe and causing CPA decision-making to be path dependent.
