A Cycle of Organizational Strategy: The Adaptation Process in U.S. Regulatory Agencies
研究了美国八家监管机构的战略制定模式，发现战略变化由多种变量触发，并呈现从防御到分析再到增长的循环。
This paper proposes a conceptual framework and examines the pattern of strategy- making in regulatory organizations. It analyzes longitudinal data on eight United States agencies. The paper suggests that strategic changes are triggered by various strategic, organizational and environmental variables, and concludes that there is a distinct cycle of strategies in American regulatory agencies. This cycle is progressive, moving from defensive through analytical to growth strategies.
