A strategic contingency model of multinational corporate structure

Strategic Management Journal, 1988, vol. 9, issue 5, 521-526

Abstract: This paper develops a model of multinational corporate structure in which each of the five structures—worldwide product, worldwide functional, area, international division and matrix—is explained in terms of domain parameters, management orientation and generic strategy. The strategic contingency model (SCM) is developed by integrating recent theoretical and empirical literature into one holistic model. The SCM delineates specific independent variable relationships which predict multinational corporate structure and explains anomalies in recent research finds.
