Strategy, Contextual Factors, and Performance
研究了185家大型工业企业的多个情境因素与绩效的关系，发现中等规模、外部收购增长战略、单件小批量生产系统、非耐用消费品行业和高环境不确定性是绩效的正向预测因素。
Relationships between multiple contextual factors and performance in 185 large industrial firms were examined. Medium size, external acquisitive growth grand strategy, unit and small batch predominant production system, consumer nondurable goods industry, and high perceived environmental uncertainty were positive predictors of firm performance. Functional structure, geographic divisional structure, and large batch and mass predominant production systems were negative predictors. The highest performers were mnedium-sized firms, those using unit and small batch as the predominant production system and those employing an external acquisitive growth grand strategy.
