Organizational Slack in the Global Information Technology Industry
Abstract
Non-deployed resources (like cash and marketable securities), or in some cases, deployed but easily recoverable, resources (like sales and administration expenses) are termed slack resources and become the basis for managerial discretion. This study examines the relationship between organizational slack and firm performance in the global information technology industry. Results from a structural equation model show that organizational slack has a negative and significant impact on growth and profit performance which supports the predictions of agency theory. Market performance, however, has no impact on organizational slack.
