| Abstract: | Critics have argued that organization theories which "work" are obvious to practitioners: that is, the theories simply confirm relationships that are already well understood by experienced managers. In this study, four types of respondents - chief executive officers (CEOs) with business school education, CEOs without such education, graduating MBA students, and liberal arts graduate students - were presented with theory-based performance-rating tasks. These tasks identified respondents' beliefs regarding high-performance alignments of business-level strategy, structure, and environment for manufacturing firms. |
