A strategic contingency model of multinational corporate structure
构建了一个战略权变模型，用领域参数、管理导向和通用战略解释五种跨国公司结构，整合理论与实证文献，预测结构并解释研究中的异常现象。
Abstract This paper develops a model of multinational corporate structure in which each of the five structures—worldwide product, worldwide functional, area, international division and matrix—is explained in terms of domain parameters, management orientation and generic strategy. The strategic contingency model (SCM) is developed by integrating recent theoretical and empirical literature into one holistic model. The SCM delineates specific independent variable relationships which predict multinational corporate structure and explains anomalies in recent research finds.
