TLDR
The results indicate that both firm strategies and the environment play significant roles in influencing profitability and growth, and that capital expenditures and technological change are not negatively associated with profitability but technological change has a positive impact on firm growth.Abstract:
This study examines the roles played by the environment and realized strategies on firm-level performance in the Japanese machine tool industry. We examine the effect of environment and strategy on performance using longitudinal data on a sample of 25 Japanese machine tool firms over the period 1979-92. Our results indicate that both firm strategies and the environment play significant roles in influencing profitability and growth. More specifically, whereas both strategy and environmental variables are significantly related to firm profitability, only environmental variables are associated with firm growth. Additionally, in contrast to U.S. based studies, we find that capital expenditures and technological change are not negatively associated with profitability. Rather technological change has a positive impact on firm growth. We discuss the implications of these results for strategic management and provide suggestions for future research.read more

Technological Discontinuities and Organizational Environments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the patterns of technological evolution and their impact on environmental conditions and find that technological change within a product class will be characterized by long periods of incremental change punctuated by discontinuities, and the locus of innovation will differ for competence destroying and competence-enhancing technological changes.
