Strategic Management – “shooting at a moving target of co-alignment” (Thompson, 1967)
External Strategic Fit =
Strategy formulation to
-match internal capabilities
with specific attractive
external opportunities;
-create strategies
that effectively adapt to
external (industry and
competitive) trends.
Internal Strategic Fit =
Strategy implementation to
-match the skills and
resources of the firm to
requirements for successful
strategy execution;
-ensure that actions and
resources facilitate strategy
accomplishment.
