目的--本文旨在调查先前研究人员提出的制造业商业战略与结构和基础设施投资决策之间的联系是否得到了经验支持。设计/方法/方法-根据101家美国制造业公司的主要商业战略，将其分为三组。分类通过对分类群和公司经营环境的方差分析(ANOVA)检验来验证。然后，用方差分析对制造业投资决策进行检验，以解决本文的核心问题--这三个商业战略集团在强调制造业的结构性和基础设施领域是否存在差异。发现--三个基于商业战略的公司集团，被标记为基础广泛的竞争对手、差异化企业和价格领导者，它们在制造业的几个基础结构和基础设施领域的重点不同，从而支持了三个商业战略集团之间的联系的论点。
Purpose – This paper seeks to investigate whether linkages, proposed by previous researchers, among business strategies and structural and infrastructural investment decisions of manufacturing are empirically supported.Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 101 US manufacturing firms is classified into three groups based on their predominant business strategies. The classification is validated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests on the taxons and on the environment in which the firms operate. ANOVA tests on manufacturing investment decisions are then used to address the central question of the paper – whether the three business strategy groups differ in their emphasis on structural and infrastructural areas of manufacturing.Findings – The three business strategy‐based groups of firms, labeled broad‐based competitors, differentiators, and price leaders, differ in their emphasis on several of the structural and infrastructural areas of manufacturing, thus supporting the contention of linkages among ...
