Importance of Structure and Process to Strategy Implementation Case Solution
This note emphasizes on how the 200 senior managers showed how the performance of the company overall is influenced by how well the business strategy of a company is matched to the behavioral standards of its workers and its organizational structure. Identifies a taxonomy comprised of four distinct blends of structure/behavior kinds: Direction Dominant, Customer-Centric Innovators, Customer-Centric Cost Controllers, and Middle Ground.
These alternative construction/behaviors are then matched with specific business strategies (i.e., Prospectors, Analyzers, Low-Cost Defenders, Distinguished Defenders) to identify which combination(s) of structures and behaviors best serve to ease the procedure of implementing a specific strategy.
