Strategic decision speed and firm performance
一项为期4年的研究，调查了战略决策速度对企业后续绩效的影响，并识别了与环境及组织特征相关的因素，发现决策速度在动态性、丰裕性、集权化和正式化与绩效之间起中介作用。
Abstract This 4‐year study examines the effect of strategic decision speed upon subsequent firm performance and identifies environmental and organizational characteristics that relate to decision speed. We draw upon strategic decision‐making theory and organization theory to propose that strategic decision speed mediates the relation between environmental and organizational characteristics and performance. Measures of business environment, organization structure, strategic decision speed, and firm performance (growth and profitability) were collected from 318 CEOs from 1996 to 2000. Structural equation modeling confirmed that fast strategic decision‐making predicts subsequent firm growth and profit and mediates the relation of dynamism, munificence, centralization, and formalization with firm performance.
