FIRM RESOURCES, STRATEGIC ANALYSIS CAPABILITY AND STRATEGIC PERFORMANCE: ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AS MODERATOR

Understanding the impact of efficient utilization of firm resources and capabilities is important to achieve and sustain strategic performance. This paper examines firm resources, strategic analysis capability and the moderating role of organisational structure in the relationship between firm resources, strategic analysis capability and strategic performance. The study adopts a survey method to collect data from 105 employees on managerial levels of the four multinational firms operating in the mobile telecommunication sector in Nigeria. The results suggest that human resources, financial resources, strategic analysis capability has a positive and significant relationship with strategic performance. Additionally, organisational structure moderates the relationship between human resources, financial resources, strategic analysis capability and strategic performance. The authors concluded that by recognising the impact of organisational structure on human resources, financial resources and strategic analysis capability, managers/executives can significantly enhance strategic performance.
