Notes

  1. 1.

    This chapter is to a large extent based upon the reasoning found in Nilsson and Rapp (2005) as well as Nilsson (2010).

  2. 2.

    As earlier mentioned all empirical chapters, except one, are based on dissertation projects (including one licentiate theses). Quotes from interviews in Swedish have been translated to English.

  3. 3.

    A firm with strategic congruence has coherent and mutually reinforcing corporate, business and functional strategies adapted to the environment.

  4. 4.

    A firm with an integrated control system has created a consistent flow of information within and between the central instruments of control.

  5. 5.

    From this point on, when we speak of strong competitive advantage, we tacitly assume that this leads to high performance. As is shown in Sect. 1.6, we have also chosen to discuss competitive advantage and performance as two strongly linked phenomena.

  6. 6.

    The way in which the literature review was conducted is described in Appendix.

  7. 7.

    The acronym is based on the Swedish name of the program.

  8. 8.

    From here on, the designation of “firm” refers to corporate groups, that is, large, complex organizations with several business units.
