Description
ABSTRACT The paper presents an investigation of the strategic profiles of three structural configurations in a sample of executives at financial services firms. In particular, the authors investigate how the firm's in each structural configuration differ in regards strategy, performance, environmental perceptions, and their structural dimensions. Findings indicate that, for nearly every strategic variable, the order from high to low is generally high-structure firms, followed by mixed-structure firms, and then low-structure firms. High structure firms are characterized as larger firms which are aggressive marketers, market-oriented focusing on competitors, showing high levels of perceived performance and adaptability, as well as lower yet acceptable ROI. By definition, the high-structure firms exhibit high levels across all the structural dimensions. On the other hand, low-structure firms are shown to be smaller firms which are passive marketers with less focus on competitors, showing lower levels of perceived performance and adaptability, but higher levels of ROI. Again, by definition, low-structure firms exhibit low levels on all the structural dimensions. The profile of mixed-structure firms are in-between both categories.
