Performance of commercial television stations as an outcome of interorganizational linkages and environmental conditions

Article Abstract:

Organizational performance of, and environmental conditions affecting, television stations and their organizational structures is discussed, based upon the research performed on 145 television stations in 25 geographically dispersed markets during a 15-year period. The study indicates that inter organizational linkages can assist in the protection of television stations from harmful operational effects occasioned by environmental complexity or scarcity. However, uncertainty is also shown to have a direct effect on the performance levels achieved by television stations.
