Strategic schemas, strategic flexibility, and firm performance: the moderating role of industry clockspeed
研究了行业变化速度如何调节战略图式(复杂性与聚焦性)与战略灵活性、企业绩效之间的关系,发现快节奏行业需要复杂图式促进灵活性,慢节奏行业则聚焦图式更有效。
Abstract We examine the moderating effect of industry clockspeed on the relationship between strategic schemas, strategic flexibility and firm performance. We employ two key properties of strategic schemas: complexity and focus. Using a sample of 225 firms from 14 industries, we show that the pattern of relationships among the theoretical constructs is different in fast‐ and slow‐clockspeed industries. The results suggest that complexity of strategic schemas promotes strategic flexibility and success in fast clockspeed industries, whereas focus of strategic schemas fosters strategic persistence, which is effective in slow‐clockspeed industries.
