    Corporate strategy departments as a collective of strategy professionals need to integrate organizational unit managers in strategy-making through participation. However, research on how they are doing it and how effective such integration efforts are is scarce. Addressing this gap, we propose a measure for integration effectiveness from a unit manager perspective. We identify integration effectiveness as a multidimensional construct consisting of a relational, cognitive, and functional dimension. The way how the strategy department exploits its capabilities along these dimensions leads to four characteristic effectiveness states: seminal, lagging, routine, and rushed. This conceptualization is based on an in-depth case study of a global multibusiness automotive company with empirical evidence from 43 interviews with unit managers and a pilot-test including initial construct validation (EFA).

    Value creation through the corporate strategy function (CSF) and its measurement has received little attention in strategic management research. This article should fill this gap by starting to develop the Strategic Impact Measure (SIM). Applying the strategy as practice perspective and drawing on an in depth case study of a global multi-business automotive company (AutoCorp) with empirical evidence of 43 interviews, we find that strategic impact is a collective and multidimensional construct consisting of a relational, cognitive and functional dimension. The extent of these dimensions is reflected in the four strategic impact levels ‘power', ‘rush', ‘poor', and ‘routine'. After having inductively developed the construct strategic impact from the data, we pilot measured the SIM at AutoCorp and validated the results in an exploratory factor analysis. -> nominated for Practical Implications Award
