This dissertation analyzes both antecedents and outcomes of strategic change in large, publicly-listed companies. Drawing on a sample of German and U.S. American companies, findings suggest that strategic change negatively affects financial performance in the short- to medium-run. However, managers may improve performance outcomes through prioritization of attractive business units. Further, results indicate how supervisory boards may use personnel changes as well as executive compensation to initiate strategic change.
