DownloadIn what key aspect does the configuration school differs form all the other schools?
Omdraaien
It offers the possibility of reconciliation: a way to integrate the messages of the other schools.
What is the main argument and concept of the school?
Omdraaien
The school argues that everything depends on the context. It tries to make sense of periods and transactions within the context.
The school describes the relative stability of strategy within given states, interrupted by occasional and rather dramatic leaps to new ones.
Why is there no real assumption of whether the environment is controllable, stable or dynamic?
Omdraaien
Because it can be all of those. It is up to the manager to figure out the current situation and the configuration needed to fit the context.
What are the 2 main sides of the configuration school?
Omdraaien
1. Configuration= the state of the organization and its surrounding context: a relatively stable pattern of characteristics.
2. Transformation= the strategy-making process: an inevitable consequence of configuration. A sporadic and mostly far-reaching change towards a new stage.
What is the difference between configuration and transformation?
Omdraaien
- Configuration = state
- Transformation = process
Configuration is about 2 questions, which?
Omdraaien
1. How do different elements of an organization cluster together under particular conditions to define 'states', 'models' or 'ideal' types?
2. How do these different states get sequenced over time to define 'stages', 'periods' and 'lifecycle'?
How did Darwin made the distinction between splitters and lumpers?
Omdraaien
- Splitters: people who like to isolate variables and lay them out along continuous scales and then study the relationships between the pair of them.
= more complex.
- Lumpers: people who see the world in terms of nice, neat categories. Nuanced variability is assumed away in favor of overall clustering. Outliers are ignored in favor of central tendencies.
= more simple/categorial.
What are the premises of the configurational school?
Omdraaien
1. Most of the time embedded in stable configurations and for a distinguishable period they adopt a particular structure matched to a particular type of context. This way, they can engage in particular behaviors giving rise to a particular set of strategies.
2. Periods of stability are interrupted occasionally by a process of transformation - leap to new configuration.
3. These successive states of configuration and periods of transformation may be categorized over time into patterned sequences.
4. The key to strategic management is to sustain stability and recognize the need for periodical major transformation to another configuration.
5. Any school can explain how strategies are made within the organization, but they are found in their own time and in their own context.
6. The resulting strategies take form of plans or patterns, positions or perspectives.
