AbstractJapanese consultants have used Lanchester's military models to define monopoly, premium, duopoly, oligopoly and polyopoly market structures in which competitive conditions differ. These situations are investigated using the PIMS database. The findings refute the idea that monopoly and premium structures are more stable than the others. Instead movements between structures seem to follow a Markov process.

摘要:

AbstractThis article presents case data and a conceptual foundation for nonprofit piggybacking whereby a nonprofit organization subsidizes its deficit producing primary mission by diversifying into related surplus‐producing ventures. Shared common and joint costs are considered as supply‐side bases for selecting among demand‐side related diversification activ

摘要:

AbstractSome of the common organizational requirements prescribed for generic business strategies of cost leadership and differentiation are empirically examined in a study consisting of 69 business units. The results suggest the fit between business unit strategy and the internal organization of multi‐business companies does have an effect upon business unit performanc

摘要:

AbstractThere already exists a substantial body of work dealing with the relationships between strategy and structure. But most of the studies oversimplify things by focusing mainly on diversification and divisionalization. Recent literature has derived more complex and integrated views of strategy and structure, much of it isolating common types, ‘gestalts’, or configurations. This paper suggests a new approach for examining the relationships between strategy and structure and proposes some functional linkages between several complex strategic and structural configurati

摘要:

AbstractThis paper describes a normative strategic management process for the public sector. It focuses on the state agency or department as the strategic public planning unit (SPPU). Each department within a state Government provides a distinctly different service to a more or less homogeneous segment of the state's citizenry. Therefore, for strategic management purposes, each state unit operates in its unique context and must meet the demands of varied constituency publics if it is to be a viable and effective provider of its service. The process herein described recognizes the unique aspects of public sector strategic management and integrates several stages that are specific to the public sector into an established private sector strategic management framework.

AbstractThis paper presents a framework for understanding the multiple purposes that problem statements can serve during the formulation phase of strategic planning. Both functional and dysfunctional purposes exist. Variables that can help to identify dysfunctional purposes are discussed.

摘要:

AbstractInvesting in cost leadership by rapidly riding down the experience curve is a common way to establish a firm's competitive advantage. Its success depends, in part, on the factors that underlie the experience curve. In this paper we make the distinction between cost declines that occur at any point in time and cost declines that may occur over time. This leads us to consider a revised experience concept in which the dynamic interrelationship between a firm's production rate, cumulative production and unit cost is explicitly considered. We provide a detailed analysis of various scale‐learning relationships and their strategic implications for establishing competitive advantage through an investment in cost leadership. We also prove analytically that such investment should take place only in the presence of learnin
