摘要

在市场上有利竞争需要在公司的资源和商业环境之间找到一个完美的匹配。战略是最高管理者的管理工作,它使组织的资源和能力与环境相一致,最终目标是实现卓越和可持续的绩效。本研究旨在确定竞争环境对高层管理团队特征与战略实施之间关系的影响。本研究采用描述性横断面调查设计。数据是通过邮寄给肯尼亚茶厂公司高层管理人员的结构化问卷获得的。采用高层管理团队特征标准化得分与竞争环境标准化得分的乘积项分别进行适度检验。对数据进行回归分析。虽然我们证明了高层管理团队特征对战略实施有显著影响,但适度检验的结果不具有统计学意义。因此,我们假设的竞争环境对高层管理团队特征与战略实施之间关系的调节作用不被支持。我们的研究结果提出了竞争环境是在战略制定过程中更相关还是在战略执行阶段更相关的理论问题。研究发现,在稳定的竞争环境中实施战略的企业,其计划战略的实施具有可预测性。我们进一步得出结论,保护伞营销机构的外部竞争隔离降低了竞争环境内因素对高层管理团队特征与战略实施之间关系的影响。然而,公司与竞争的暂时隔离使其在营销代理因内部和外部力量而不稳定的情况下处于竞争劣势。

Top Management Team Characteristics, Competitive Environment and Strategy Implementation
Competing favorably in the market requires finding a perfect fit between a firm’s resources and the business environment. Strategy is the stewardship by top management that aligns organizational resources and capabilities to the environment with the ultimate goal of achieving superior and sustainable performance. The current study was designed to determine the influence of competitive environment on the relationship between top management team characteristics and strategy implementation. The study adopted the descriptive cross-sectional survey design. Data was obtained by administering structured questionnaire mailed to top managers in tea factory companies in Kenya. The moderation test was carried out using the product term of the standardized scores for top management team characteristics and competitive environment respectively. Data was processed through regression analysis. While we demonstrate that top management team characteristics had significant influence on strategy implementation, the results of moderation tests were not statistically significant. Consequently, our hypothesized moderating influence of competitive environment on the relationship between top management team characteristics and strategy implementation was not supported. Our findings raise theoretical questions on whether competitive environment is more relevant during strategy formulation process or execution stage. We conclude that companies implementing strategy in stable competitive environment have predictable implementation of planned strategy. We further conclude that external insulation from competition by umbrella marketing agency reduces the influence of factors within the competitive environment on the relationship between top management team characteristics and strategy implementation. However, the temporary insulation of the firm from competition exposes it to competitive disadvantage in the event that the marketing agency is destabilized by forces both from within and external to it.
