| Tiivistelmä: | The methodological issues surrounding the research activities of contingency theory are discussed. Two research are strategies reviewed. They entail a multivariate examination of the structure-environment-effectiveness relationship. The results from field research in a commercial bank are used to illustrate the two analysis strategies. They indicate that effective organizational units show strong structure-environment inter-relationships and that there are effectiveness-induced constraints on the choice of an organization's design. |
