Configurations of strategy and structure: Towards a synthesis
提出一种新方法来考察战略与结构的关系，并建立了多种复杂战略与结构配置之间的功能联系，有助于理解企业如何匹配战略与结构。
Abstract There already exists a substantial body of work dealing with the relationships between strategy and structure. But most of the studies oversimplify things by focusing mainly on diversification and divisionalization. Recent literature has derived more complex and integrated views of strategy and structure, much of it isolating common types, ‘gestalts’, or configurations. This paper suggests a new approach for examining the relationships between strategy and structure and proposes some functional linkages between several complex strategic and structural configurations.
