Abstract
Abstract This study examines the interrelationships of environmental changes and strategic action variables with each other and with short term success, for 358 large business firms over a 45 year period. Success ( Fortune ratings and ROA) is found to be related to two strategic decision segments. Several strategy‐environment relationships are also found. Some methodological problems are noted in the attempt to move policy research from case analysis to statistical explanation.

It appears that the combined impact of general environment conditions (socioeconomic development and occupational mix) and reliance on external units forms a basis for measuring environmental complexity.

It is shown that today's critical conditions were not leading to management putting aside their plans and computer models and “muddling through”, but were actually leading to an acceleration in the adoption of formal planning and decision making methods but in a somewhat different manner to conventional planning theory.
