When it comes to corporate strategy, managers, like parents, manage and organize companies in different ways. Some focus on strategic planning, others on financial control and still others on strategic control. In the research paper, "A Formal Evaluation of the Performance of Different Corporate Styles in Stable and Turbulent Environments," Professors Adrián A. Caldar and Joan Enric Ricart test the relationship between "parenting style" and performance. They find that the performance of each style depends on the characteristics of the business environment.
