A reexamination and extension of international strategy–structure theory
基于95家德国企业样本,检验并扩展了国际战略-结构理论,新增国际转移和海外研发两个战略要素,并探讨了矩阵结构的战略-结构匹配。
Abstract Using a sample of 95 German firms, the study finds general support for the traditional fits of international strategy–structure theory. Employing an information‐processing perspective, the study conceptually and empirically extends existing theory (1) to address strategy–structure fit for various types of matrix structure, and (2) by adding two new elements of international strategy to the existing international strategy–structure model: the level of international transfers and level of foreign R&D.
