Moderating Influences on the Firm's Strategic Orientation-Performance Relationship
基于295家中小制造企业的调查，研究了环境条件、高管经验及企业战略如何调节战略导向对绩效的正向影响。
This article is focused on the factors that moderate the relationship between firm's strategic orientation and performance in small and medium-sized firms. Much prior research has focused simply on identifying environmental conditions conducive to the effectiveness of the strategic orientation approach. However, recent research has called for studies focused on investigating internal moderators of the strategic orientation-performance relationship. As a result, we propose a contingency framework, considering how corporate and competitive strategies, top management characteristics, and environmental conditions may moderate this relationship. Based on a survey of 295 small and medium-sized enterprises pertaining to seven manufacturing sectors, our study shows that the positive influence of the firm's strategic orientation may be moderated by the environment conditions, the previous experience of top management team, and the corporate and competitive strategies developed by the firm.
