The effect of strategic change on organizational performance: a dynamic model of strategic fit.
Abstract
In my doctoral research I develop and test a dynamic model of strategic fit. By drawing on the arguments of the punctuated equilibrium theory I propose that firms should change their strategic orientation when a dominant design emerges. I test this proposition using longitudinal data from plastics manufacturers in the CD segment of the polycarbonates industry.Researcher(s)
