摘要：
This paper uses the resource-based view in order to examine the impact of organizational structure on firm performance, taking into account the relationship with competitive strategy. The study suggests a model in which competitive strategy acts as a mediator variable in the relationship between organizational structure and firm performance. This model is analyzed using the Partial Least Squares technique. The results show that organizational structure does not exert a direct influence on performance, but an indirect one through competitive strategy, which reinforces the conception of organizational design as a strategic resource to obtain a competitive advantage.
