N2  - "The Logic of New Zealand Business brings together original data on company strategy, structure, ownership, and performance to reveal why a small group of New Zealand companies has performed consistently better than others. The authors look at what major New Zealand companies have been doing interms of business strategy and structure; why they have acted in the way they have in the light of ownership changes and past financial performance; and the impact of their decisions on subsequent performance as measured in profitability and growth. The authors reveal combinations of strategy andstructure that have led to sustained superior performance in a range of industries."--Publisher description
