Abstract

This study establishes that a certain type of performance metrics (operational/financial or strategic/relational) is more suitable for pursuing a particular business strategy— prospector/reactor. Using data from 372 organizations, we test hypotheses about the relationships between types of performance metrics emphasized and 1) structural variables, such as organization size and nature of the organization—manufacturing/service and multinational/domestic) and 2) the type of business strategy pursued. We also investigate the overall organizational performance impact of the fit between the types of performance metrics utilized and the business strategy pursued.
