Empirical research was conducted in twelve service organisations to understand the impact of internal strategic fit on business performance. The findings suggest that the approach used to create fit has a more significant than the level of fit it creates. A review of the high performing companies showed they used ‘strategic frameworks’ in stable price-sensitive markets, ‘service/product-based teams’ in stable design-led markets, ‘flexible resources’ in unstable price-sensitive markets and ‘customer-based teams’ in unstable design-led markets.
