Bt. Lamont et al., PERFORMANCE DURING M-FORM REORGANIZATION AND RECOVERY-TIME - THE EFFECTS OF PRIOR STRATEGY AND IMPLEMENTATION SPEED, Academy of Management journal, 37(1), 1994, pp. 153-166
Taking a different tack from previous work on the performance effects
of''M-form'' adoption, this study examined performance deterioration d
uring reorganization periods and the subsequent time required for perf
ormance to recover to prereorganization levels. Prior strategy and imp
lementation speed were found to affect both transition performance and
recovery time.
