Performance and consensus
研究12家非多元化上市公司发现，高管团队在竞争手段上达成共识比在目标上达成共识更能提升经济绩效，仅目标一致而手段分歧反而导致绩效不佳。
Abstract Top management consensus on corporate objectives and on the competitive weapons employed to attain them was studied in 12 non‐diversified public corporations. It was found that while agreement on both is associated positively with economic performance, agreement on means is significantly more important—in fact, agreement on goals without agreement on means correlates with poor performance. This suggests that strategy makers should concentrate on reaching consensus concerning means rather than ends (corporate goals) when formulating strategies for single‐mission enterprises.
