| Abstract: | This study examines whether slack resources have differential effects on the extent of a firm's response to environmental shifts. Using a sample of 30 airlines during the transitional period of industry deregulation, the authors found that the relationship between slack resources and the extent of a firm's environmental response is contingent on the firm's pattern of resource allocations. Specifically, the results show that as firms allocate more resources toward activities which enhance external market effectiveness, increases in slack increase the extent of their environmental response. |
