Return on assets loss from situational and contingency misfits

R. M. Burton, J. Lauridsen, and B. Obel, “Return on assets loss from situational and contingency misfits,” Management science, vol. 48, iss. 11, p. 1461–1485, 2002.

Abstract

Vi udvikler en regelbaseret contingency misfit model og relaterede hypoteser for at teste empirisk Burton og Obels (1998) multi contingency model for strategisk organisatorisk design.

Modellen er en række ‘hvis-så’ misfit-regler, hvor misfits fører til et tab af præstation; de er supplementer til strategi og organisatorisk contingency teori fit-regler. Ved hjælp af data fra 224 små og mellemstore danske virksomheder kategoriseres og identificeres misfits.

Derefter udvikles og testes præstationshypoteser ved hjælp af regressionsmodeller. Vi bekræfter hypoteserne om, at virksomheder med situationsmæssige misfits eller contingency misfits, eller begge, lider af præstationstab i forhold til afkastet på aktiver sammenlignet med virksomheder uden misfits. Modsætningsvis fandt vi ikke, at yderligere misfits fører til øget præstationstab.

Vores resultater antyder, at blot en enkelt misfit af enhver art kan kompromittere ydeevnen betydeligt. Disse resultater giver en dybere forståelse af organisatorisk contingency teori samt implikationer for den regelbaserede fit-misfit organisatoriske designmodel.

abstract = {We develop a rule-based contingency misfit model and related hypotheses to test empirically the Burton and Obel (1998) multi contingency model for strategic organizational design.
The model is a set of “if-then” misfit rules, in which misfits lead to a loss in performance; they are complements to the strategy and organizational contingency theory fit rules. Using data from 224 small- and medium-sized Danish firms, misfits are categorized and identified.
Then, performance hypotheses are developed and tested using regression models. We confirm the hypotheses that firms with situational misfits or contingency misfits, or both, incur performance losses in return on assets compared with firms with no misfits. Contrary to our hypotheses, we did not find that additional misfits lead to increased performance loss.
Our results suggest that just one misfit of any kind may significantly compromise performance. These results yield a deeper understanding of organizational contingency theory, as well as implications for the rule-based fit-misfit organizational design model.},
