Abstract
There is general consensus in the strategy literature that successful firms alter
strategy to address changes in their environments and enact more favourable
conditions. Studies of organizational change suggest that this adjustment is not
always made in a timely manner. Different beliefs about cause and effect have
been established as a plausible explanation for differential responses to environmental
change. This exploratory study of six pharmaceutical firms suggests more
specifically that multiple concepts associated with environmental changes must be
directly linked to organizational performance before new strategies are initiated.
The results emphasize the importance of stress as a precursor to strategic
response and have implications for the way we conceptualize 'response' when
referring to significant changes in strategy.
