摘要

我们通过研究企业启动企业变革计划的环境,将战略变革作为一种可见的实质性行动进行研究。根据先前的文献,并通过对高管的访谈得到证实,我们提出了一个关于企业变革计划启动的应急视角(即不同类型的计划在不同情况下启动)。为此,我们将启动企业变革计划的三个一般动机与两种不同类型的企业变革计划结合起来。更具体地说,我们认为,当市场形势活跃时,当企业有先前的经验时,以及当企业表现不佳时,它们更有可能推出以增长为导向的计划。此外,我们认为,当有了新的首席执行官,当他们表现不佳,以及当他们面临高度的组织复杂性时,公司更有可能推出以效率为导向的计划。为了检验我们关于启动项目动机的假设,我们进行了一项大规模的实证研究。使用十年来欧洲金融服务和保险业的手工收集数据,我们发现我们的预测得到了支持。我们讨论了这些发现对战略变革研究的启示。

Why do firms launch corporate change programs? A contingency perspective on strategic change

We study strategic change as a visible and substantive action by examining the circumstances under which firms launch corporate change programs. Drawing on prior literature and corroborated by insights from interviews with executives, we propose a contingency perspective on the launch of corporate change programs (i.e. that different types of programs are launched under different circumstances). To do so, we combine arguments for three general motives for launching a corporate change program with two distinct types of corporate change programs. More specifically, we argue that firms are more likely to launch growth-oriented programs when the market situation is buoyant, when they have prior experience, and when they are underperforming. Furthermore, we argue that firms are more likely to launch efficiency-oriented programs when there is a new CEO, when they are underperforming, and when they are facing high levels of organizational complexity. To test our hypotheses regarding the motives for launching programs, we conducted a large-scale empirical study. Using hand-collected data for the European financial services and insurance industry over a ten-year period, we found support for our predictions. We discuss the implications of these findings for strategic change research.

期刊介绍: The Scandinavian Journal of Management (SJM) provides an international forum for innovative and carefully crafted research on different aspects of management. We promote dialogue and new thinking around theory and practice, based on conceptual creativity, reasoned reflexivity and contextual awareness. We have a passion for empirical inquiry. We promote constructive dialogue among researchers as well as between researchers and practitioners. We encourage new approaches to the study of management and we aim to foster new thinking around management theory and practice. We publish original empirical and theoretical material, which contributes to understanding management in private and public organizations. Full-length articles and book reviews form the core of the journal, but focused discussion-type texts (around 3.000-5.000 words), empirically or theoretically oriented, can also be considered for publication. The Scandinavian Journal of Management is open to different research approaches in terms of methodology and epistemology. We are open to different fields of management application, but narrow technical discussions relevant only to specific sub-fields will not be given priority.
