Abstract
This chapter starts with the descriptive statistics and the relations between the variables measured at ratio-level; i.e. size, technology and performance and effectiveness. In § 9.2 the management control variables measured at ordinal level are described. In the next paragraph the contingencies and management control variables are associated with performance and effectiveness using different bi-variate and multi-variate statistical techniques. This chapter ends with different cross-sections of the study sample on specific characteristics. Companies with a more radical orientation are compared with those with a more incremental orientation, autonomous companies (the pure play pharmaceuticals) are compared with dependent divisions of conglomerates, and companies with an Anglo-American head office are compared with those with a continental European head office.
