Environment-strategy coalignment: an empirical test of its performance implications
Article Abstract:
The Profit Impact Marketing Strategy research data base, which contains information on strategic, environmental, and performance variables for more than 2000 strategic business units, was used to conduct a two-phase analysis over two time periods to determine whether the fit, or coalignment, of strategy and environment of a business is a crucial element of strategic management. The analysis examined eight individual business environments. Research results indicate strong support for the hypothesis that there is a positive performance impact of strategy-environment coalignment.

The market share-profitability relationship: an empirical assessment of major assertions and contradictions
Article Abstract:
The nature of the relationship between market share and business profitability is examined. A path analysis is used to examine the relationship across a taxonomy of homogeneous environments. The results of the study indicate that the relationship between market share and profitability is context-specific, that both direct and spurious relationships between market share and profitability exist, and that the validity of market share as a predictor of profitability is context specific.
