Abstract

Stratejik yönetim literatüründe, stratejiler ile örgüt yapıları arasındaki olumlu etkileşim ve uyum konusu önemli bir tartışma sahası olmuştur. Stratejilerin örgüt yapıları üzerinde ve örgüt yapısının da stratejiler üzerinde etkisi olduğu yönündeki tartışmalar süregelmektedir. Çalışmamızda uluslararası ve ulusal literatür taraması ile strateji-yapı etkileşimi ve uyumu konularındaki tartışmalar ortaya konulmakta ve literatürdeki strateji ve yapı arasında ki etkileşim ve uyum konularında ki çalışmalar bir araya getirilerek toplu halde sunulmakta ve mevcut çalışmalardan seçici alıntılar yapılarak mevcut tartışmalar ve uyum kavramının kullanım şekilleri ve sıklığı ortaya konulmaktadır. Bu çalışmamızın amacı, stratejik yönetim alanında yazılmış uluslararası ve ulusal makaleleri tematik ve metodolojik açıdan incelemek ve konu hakkındaki literatürün çerçevesini kuramsal olarak belirlemektir. Literatürde strateji-yapı etkileşimi ve uyumu konularında yapılan araştırmalar kavramsal çerçevede ortaya konulmaktadır. Yapılan yazın taraması sonucunda, stratejinin yapı üzerindeki etkisinin daha baskın olduğu yönündeki görüşlerin ağırlıklı olduğu görülmüştür. Ancak özellikle son yıllardaki çalışmalarda strateji ve yapı arasındaki karşılıklı etkileşimin varlığının kabul gördüğü görülmektedir. Uluslararası ve ulusal yazın taraması sonucunda ulusal makalelerde en çok uyum ve etkileşim kavramlarının, uluslararası makalelerde ise uyum (fit) ve uyuşma (alignment) kelimelerinin sıklıkla kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir.

DISCUSSIONS ON THE LITERATURE OF STRATEGY-STRUCTURE FIT IN COMPANIES AND AN EVALUATION ON THE COMPREHENSION OF THE CONCEPT OF FIT

Abstract

In strategic management literature, positive interaction and harmony between strategies and organizational structures has become an important debate. There are debates about the effects of strategies on organizational structures and organizational structure on strategies. In our study, international and national literature searches and discussions about strategy-structure interaction and fit were put forward and the studies on interaction and fit between the strategy and structure in the literature are presented collectively and the selective discussions are made from the existing studies and the usage and frequency of the usage of the controversies and adaptation concept are presented. The aim of this study is to examine the international and national issues written in the field of strategic management from a thematic and methodological point of view and to frame the literature on the subject in theory. In the literature, research on strategy-structure interaction and fit issues are presented in conceptual framework. As a result of the literature scan, it was seen that the emphasis was on the idea that the effect of the strategy on the structure was more dominant. However, especially in the recent years, the existence of mutual interaction between strategy and structure seems to be accepted. As a result of the international and national literature searches, it has been determined that the most common concepts of adaptation (uyum) and interaction (etkileşim) are used in national articles and the fit and alignment words in international articles are frequently used.
