In order to achieve its goal, this study used four validated scales: (a) Strategic Orientation of Business Enterprises Scale for measuring consensus, (b) Perceived Cohesion Scale for measuring cohesion, (c) Interpersonal Conflict Scale for measuring conflict, and (d) Guzzo, Yost, and Campbell Scale for measuring potency. The conclusions were the following: (a) by well managing cohesion, consensus and conflict, the top management team can acquire potency, (b) the used scales with small changes are appropriate for evaluating the constructs, and (c) the proposed model was validated, with the precision that the influence of cohesion by itself seems not too important. Finally, some topics were suggested for future researches.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/pe/ConsensusCohesionConflictPotencyTop management teamsTextile sectorinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#5.02.04http://dx.doi.org/10.7835/ccwp-2015-11-0018
