Abstract

The relationship between firm-specific strategies and the firm's value has attracted considerable attention from researchers. The present article seeks to add to the literature by investigating firm-specific business strategy and value. We categorize firms into different ‘strategy clusters’ using the framework developed by Miles and Snow (1978) and examine whether the nature of a firm's strategy has an association with its perceived performance as measured by Tobin's Q.
