Decreased morale, motivation and confidence; increased scepticism, stress and insecurity; changing attitudes towards loyalty, employability and career—these are just some of the key responses of remaining employees (the ‘survivors’) which were identified by personnel professionals following changes in the financial services sector. This recent survey clearly indicated the potential impact of business process re-engineering (BPR) and other major organizational change initiatives on survivors. The generation of more appropriate responses and behaviours from individuals which match the new processes and technology are a prerequisite of successful BPR. This requires the management of three distinct issues: organizational change, personal transition and the psychological contract.

The linkage between the external environment, strategy process, organizational structure and performance has been changing over time. To begin with, the relationship was considered unidirectional, i.e. environment deciding the strategy which in turn influenced the structure leading to superior performance. The strategy process was seen as hierarchical and function oriented. This view of linkage has changed considerably in recent times. The concepts of core competencies/capabilities transformed strategic thinking. More recently, business process re-engineering (BPR), seen by many as the means of transforming organizations, is radically altering organizational structures. These developments call for a reappraisal of the traditional views on strategy-structure linkages and the process of strategy formulation. This paper attempts to identify some of the important issues in this debate and provide a framework for developing a more robust environment-strategy-structure-performance linkage which reflects the current trends.
