Excerpt from Environment Strategy Coalignment: An Empirical Test of Its Performance Implications
The general requirement of coalignment between environment and strategy is understood implicitly (andrews, 1980; Bourgeois, 1980; Porter, 1980; Scherer, 1980; Miles and Snow, 1978; Snow and Miles, 1983) rather than in explicit functional forms. Thus, theoreticians postulate environment-strategy relationships using phrases such as: 'matched with,' 'contingent upon,' and 'congruent with' or more simply, 'aligned, fit' and 'congruence,' without necessarily providing precise guidelines for translating such statements into the operau'onal domain of empirical research and statistical tests. Consequently, strategy researchers perforrnin g empirical tests of the impact of environment-strategy coalignment choose an available (often convenient) functional form and perform statistical tests without examining the validity of the underlying assumptions. Since different conceptualizations imply different theoretical meanings and require the use of specific statistical testing schemes, a general lack of correspondence between the conceptualization of coalignment and its empirical tests is a serious weakness in strategy research (venkatraman.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book puts forth a theory on organizational performance, suggesting that businesses that align their strategies with their environments are more likely to succeed. The author develops and utilizes a holistic perspective to demonstrate the performance impacts of environment strategy coalignment and shows how this perspective is distinct from previous reductionist approaches. The book also provides evidence of the theory's validity and robustness through empirical tests conducted across two different time periods and eight distinct environments. The findings are significant as they provide strong support for the proposition that businesses that align their strategic resource deployments to the specific requirements of their environmental context achieve higher levels of performance.
