Strategy and Structure

Neil M. Kay

Chapter 8 in The Evolving Firm, 1982, pp 133-142 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we re-orientate our analysis to consider a set of topics related to changes in corporate strategy. So far we have suggested that corporate strategy is determined by balancing synergy gains against hedging considerations; synergy is obtained from internal relationships, while hedging is designed to permit the firm to cope with its environmental threat. The argument of this chapter revolves around the point that if the environment becomes more threatening we would expect strategy changes to follow.
