Excerpt from Strategic Consistency, Synergy and Business PerformanceThe research presented in this paper 1) Operationalizes a type of strategic consistency at the business level, 2) compares the effect of strategic consistency on business unit performance to that of a less parsimonious model of operational consistency, and 3) identifies differences in the strategic consistency effect between businesses that share activities extensively with other businesses in the corporation (high synergy) and businesses that do not share activities extensively (low synergy). The results show that there is a substantial tradeoff between corporate level synergy and intra - business unit consistency.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
