摘要:

AbstractSeveral apparently conflicting empirically tested theories have been advanced as explanations of strategic behavior. This paper suggests that the theories differ because they were based on observations of organizations in different environmental settings. The paper proposes a paradigmic framework which legitimizes and accommodates the respective theories.

摘要:

AbstractBased on a survey of 111 senior executives this study finds that tailoring a firm's strategic planning system to its context is not a popular practice, despite its presumed importance. Moreover, the lack of fit between a firm's strategic planning system and its context appears to be inconsequential to how managers rate their planning systems. Implications of the findings are discussed.

摘要:

AbstractResearch suggests that firms which emphasize unrelated diversification through mergers and acquisitions are often located in unfavorable market positions, in terms of the attractiveness of their industries and their competitive positions within these industries. However, these previous research efforts have not established whether such positions will also be linked to firms using non‐conglomerate acquisition strategies. This study utilizes three acquisition strategies—conglomerate, technology‐related, and marketing‐related—to hypothesize differences in the market position of acquisitive firms. Results show that, while acquisitive growth is generally associated with a decline in market position, one particular acquisition strategy, the marketing‐related strategy, is associated with a distinctly superior position. Firms utilizing this strategy were found to be in more profitable industries and to have higher market shares in these

摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to examine the use of shareholder returns to study the impact of complex strategic interactions that involve a sequence of moves by competing firms. The paper seeks to begin to build a bridge between the capital asset pricing model of modern financial theory and competitive strategy. Competition in instant photography is used as an example. Results demonstrate how shareholder returns and changes in market risk(β)can be associated with both overall strategies and specific competitive moves

摘要:

AbstractIn a recent study, Segev (1987) examined the relationships among strategy, strategy‐making, and performance, focusing on the connection between two important typologies: Miles and Snow's (1978) concept of strategic types and Mintzberg's (1973) concept of strategy‐making modes. The findings of that study clearly indicated links between the two, and partially supported propositions asserting the effects of the strategy/stategy‐making fit on organizational performance. In the current study a business game served as the vehicle for examining this tripartite relationship. The two typologies were applied to the firms' in the game, and then an inquiry was made into the relationships between them. An hypothesis regarding the effect of fit on performance was tested, and the findings compared with previously reported empirical re

摘要:

AbstractBusiness plans that were funded by venture capitalists were compared to unfunded plans. Comparisons on the basis of plan structure, plan organization, and financial projections indicate that plans which deviate too far from the norm of the variables studied tend to go unfunded. Implications for plan preparation are discussed.
