Implementing competitive strategies at the business unit level: Implications of matching managers to strategies
研究认为业务单元绩效取决于总经理与竞争战略的匹配，基于121个业务单元的数据，发现竞争战略与管理者的职能背景、控制点和问题解决风格相互作用影响业务单元有效性。
Abstract This paper argues that, for superior performance, it is necessary to attune the choice of the general manager to the strategy of the business unit (SBU). Data from 121 SBUs indicate that SBU competitive strategy interacts with several managerial orientations (functional background, locus of control, and problem‐solving style) to influence SBU effectiveness. The theoretical and practical relevance of these findings are discussed, as are directions for future research.
