| Abstract: | Two major approaches to examining the relationship between organizational configurations and performance are found in the strategic management literature. The first, rootes in the concept of strategic groups, is inductive and focuses on a posteriori examinations of industry-specific configurations an dtheir relative performance. The second, a deductive approach, focuses on theory-based predictions. The authors compared the two approaches using a single set of organizations. |
