Decentralization, Strategy, and Effectiveness of Strategic Business Units in Multibusiness Organizations
研究多业务组织中，战略业务单元的决策权分散程度与其战略（如建设-收获、差异化-低成本、探索者-防御者）匹配时，如何提升业务单元的有效性。
The relationship between decentralization and the effectiveness of strategic business units (SBUs) within multibusiness organizations is examined. Three strategic continua are considered—Gupta and Govindarajan's (1984) build-harvest, Porter's (1980) differentiation-low cost, and Miles and Snow's (1978) prospector-defender; in each case it is proposed that the degree of decentralization of decision-making authority delegated to the general manager of the SBU should be closely aligned with the SBU's strategy to optimize the effectiveness of the SBU.
