| Abstract: | Recognizing that different business units within the same corporation often pursue different strategies is perhaps the most critical aspect of strategy implementation inlarge, multibusiness organizations. The implications of matching administrative mechanisms that corporate headquarters use to manage businesses to the competitive strategy being followed by a business unit are examined. Unlike prior studies that have exclusively used bivariate analyses, multivariate analyses that examine the joint linkage between the administrative mechanisms and strategy are also included. The results have both practical and theoretical relevance. |
