The Interface and Convergence of the Strategic Management and Organizational Environment Domains
这篇综述考察了1980-1993年间战略管理与组织环境交叉领域的研究,涵盖战略领导、扫描、组织间关系、制度理论、组织对齐和战略控制六个子主题,识别了研究趋势和未来方向。
Extending Bluedorn's (1993) review of environmental contingency theory, we examine the strategic management research conducted from 1980-1993 that explicitly deals with the environmental domain. Framing our approach as a constrained strategic choice perspective, our focus on this intersection of the strategic management and organizational environment literature leads us to examine six specific subsets of this literature: (1) strategic leadership and upper echelons; (2) scanning; (3) interorganizational relationships; (4) institutional theory; (5) organizational alignment; and (6) strategic control and evaluation. In our discussions of these topics, we identify research trends and generalizations as well as identify promising research possibilities and questions for future research. In this vein, we conclude the article with our identification of several possibilities for theoretical syntheses and theory development.
