Strategic Orientation of Business Enterprises: The Construct, Dimensionality, and Measurement
界定并开发了企业战略导向这一构念的六个维度及其测量指标，基于200个业务单元的实地数据验证了测量的信度和效度，对战略管理研究者有参考价值。
This paper reports the results of a research study aimed at conceptualizing and developing valid measurements of key dimensions of a strategy construct—termed Strategic Orientation of Business Enterprises. This construct is first defined by addressing four theoretical questions of scope; hierarchical level; domain; and intentions versus realizations, and then conceptualized in terms of six dimensions. Subsequently, operational indicators are developed for the six dimensions in terms of managerial perceptions across 200 business units in a field study. An evaluation of the measurement properties within an analysis of covariance structures framework indicated that the operational measures developed here largely satisfy the criteria for unidimensionality, convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity. Implications and lines of extensions are outlined.
