Abstract
Purpose
This paper seeks to explore the effect of performance duration (rather than intensity) on the subsequent initiation of strategic change by firms. Specifically, the effect of outperformance and underperformance duration on strategic change, as well as the moderating effect of environmental dynamism, is studied.
Design/methodology/approach
Using a fixed-effects model, analyzing a sample of 34,907 firm-year observations from 1980 to 2018 across 112 industries mostly supported proposed hypotheses.
Findings
Results revealed a U-shaped relationship between outperformance duration and strategic change and an inverted U-shaped relationship between underperformance duration and strategic change. The moderation role of environmental dynamism was only partially supported.
Originality/value
This study examines a new dimension of performance feedback, namely duration, rather than the widely used intensity of performance feedback, to enhance our understanding of the behavioral theory of the firm.
本文旨在探讨绩效持续时间(而非强度)对企业随后启动战略变革的影响。具体而言,研究了业绩超预期和业绩不佳持续时间对战略变革的影响,以及环境动态的调节作用。研究结果结果显示,业绩超预期持续时间与战略变革之间呈 U 型关系,业绩不佳持续时间与战略变革之间呈倒 U 型关系。本研究考察了绩效反馈的一个新维度,即持续时间,而非广泛使用的绩效反馈强度,以加深我们对企业行为理论的理解。
