Contingency Linkages Between Strategy and General Manager Characteristics: A Conceptual Examination
针对总经理特征与组织战略的关系，提出可检验的命题，将六种管理特征与战略及有效性在公司和战略业务单元两个层级上联系起来，对研究战略匹配的学者有参考价值。
Prior research relating general manager characteristics to organizational strategy has (a) tended to operationalize these characteristics in vague and untestable terms; (b) focused almost solely on the implications of differences in business unit level strategic mission; and (c) rarely examined strategy-general manager linkages in the context of a key criterion variable, namely, effectiveness. This paper develops specific testable propositions that link six managerial characteristics to strategy and effectiveness at two hierarchical levels: corporate and strategic business unit.
