Strategy follows structure!
挑战了战略决定结构的传统观点，提出结构反过来会约束战略选择，对组织管理者和学者理解战略与结构的关系有启发。
Abstract Researchers have for some time been interested in the relationship between the strategy and structure of an organization. In this article the authors discuss the most widely‐held view on the nature of this relationship, and then suggest an alternative explanation. For them strategy, structure, and environment are closely linked. Whereas men may build the structure of an organization, in practice it is this very structure which later constrains the strategic choices they may make.
