Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both Hubbard et al. and Treacy & Wiersema argue that organisational performance is largely determined by how well a strategy is implemented. This means that some organisations outperform others because they are better at executing their chosen strategy. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Options A and D are incorrect because they suggest that strategy choice alone is the main determinant of organisational performance, which is not supported by the literature. Option B is also incorrect because it implies that strategy choice has no impact on organisational performance, which is also not supported by the literature.
