Publisher's Synopsis
Why have a minority of New Zealand companies consistently performed better than others? This study brings together original data on company strategy, structure, ownership and performance to reveal the underlying logic which is central to answering the question. It examines what major New Zealand companies have been doing in terms of business strategy and structure; why they have acted in the way they have, in the light of ownership changes and past financial performance; and the impact of these decisions on their subsequent performance, as measured in profitability and growth. The authors reveal combinations of strategy and structure that have led to sustained superior performance in a range of industries.
