Matching method to paradigm in strategy research: limitations of cross-sectional analysis and some methodological alternatives

Article Abstract:

Researchers have usually depended on cross-sectional methods that have the implied assumption that model parameters are stable across companies and over time when they study the relationships concerned with the structure-strategy-performance paradigm. Many of the theories employed in strategic management have clear company- and time-specific components. Thus, the parameters for the relationships examined should empirically vary across companies and over time. Failure to consider such variability can result in biased parameter estimates and wrong inferences. Thus, it is suggested that alternative techniques that can overcome the limitations of a cross-sectional analysis be employed.
