Identificacion de grupos estrategicos en el sector hortofruticola espanol
Abstract
RESUMEN: Este art�culo ofrece los resultados de un estudio intra-sectorial destinado a identificar la existencia o no de v�nculos entre la estrategia empresarial, el estilo de gesti�n, la estructura organizativa y la actuaci�n en el sector hortofrut�cola espa�ol utilizando el an�lisis de grupos estrat�gicos como instrumento metodol�gico. Los grupos estrat�gicos se formaron a partir de dimensiones claves de la orientaci�n estrat�gica de las empresas. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que los niveles de rentabilidad no difieren de forma sistem�tica entre los grupos estrat�gicos obtenidos. La heterogeneidad en la actuaci�n est� influenciada por una alineaci�n entre la cultura empresarial y la estructura organizativa. Una tendencia hacia una mayor "organicidad" y/o la adopci�n de un estilo de gesti�n emprendedor son factores ambos que tienden a contribuir hacia una mejora en la actuaci�n general de la empresa. SUMMARY: This article reports the results of an intra-industry study that seeks to identify empirical regularities between firm strategy, management style, organisational structure and performance in the Spanish fresh fruit and vegetable industry using strategic group analysis. Groups were formed from key dimensions reflecting firms' strategic orientations. Performance levels did not differ systematically between strategic groups, but performance was found to be influenced by the alignment between entrepreneurial culture and organisational structure. A move towards greater flexibility and/or adopting an entrepreneurial style are both likely to contribute to an improvement in the overall performance of the firm.Download Info
