Synopsis

Explore how "fit" shapes strategy research and why precise operationalization matters. This book connects verbal theory with statistical testing, showing how different conceptions of fit guide research design and interpretation in strategic management.

The work surveys alternative perspectives on fit, from moderation and mediation to gestalts, profile-deviation, and covariation. It explains how each view changes what counts as evidence and how to test it, helping readers align theory with rigorous measurement.


  • Clear explanations of six fit perspectives and when to apply them

  • Practical guidance on designing tests that reflect the chosen concept of fit

  • Discussion of methodological issues like form vs. strength, weighting, and power of tests

  • Illustrative examples linking theory, measurement, and empirical results



Ideal for researchers and graduate students aiming to strengthen the link between theory-building and theory-testing in strategy research, across both process and variance paradigms. It offers a framework to evaluate how well a proposed fit actually supports a theory of competitive performance.
