| Abstract: | The purpose of this article is threefold. First, a comprehensive measure of the level of support that manufacturing provides for the strategic objectives of a firm is developed. Second, different hypotheses relating production competence to several financial measures of business performance are tested using data from a large sample of firms in the furniture industry. Third, the impact of business strategy both directly on performance and as a moderating variable in relation to production competence is analyzed. |
