Environment, strategy, organization structure and performance: Patterns in one industry
通过对储蓄和贷款协会的实地研究，发现高绩效企业与低绩效企业在环境、战略和组织结构的组合上存在显著差异，且管理者规范和机构间关系影响竞争强度与绩效。
Abstract This paper reports the findings of an empirical field study of savings and loan associations. The investigation centres upon whether combinations of environment, strategy, and organization structure of “high”‐performance firms differ from combinations associated with “low”‐performance firms. Results show that such combinations differ, both statistically and with respect to their basic character. There is also evidence that norms held by managers of competing institutions and the nature of relationships between organizations and populations served to influence the vigour and form of interfirm rivalries and, in turn, organizational performance.
