Strategic behaviors of organizations can be classified along two dimensions--growth orientations, or patterns of evolution over time, and action orientations, or strategic aggressiveness in undertaking a particular growth orientation. We create measures of growth and action orientations for small multihospital systems and test the validity of the growth and action orientation typologies, using data from a sample of small multihospital systems. Growth and action orientations do appear to exist independently of each other, and they are related to the ownership status of the systems. Not-for-profit and church-other systems exhibit similar strategic orientations, unlike those of Catholic and investor-owned systems.
组织的战略行为可以沿着两个维度进行分类——增长方向，即随着时间推移的演变模式，以及行动方向，即在采取特定增长方向时的战略进取性。我们为小型多医院系统创建了增长和行动方向的衡量指标，并使用来自小型多医院系统样本的数据来检验增长和行动方向类型学的有效性。增长和行动方向似乎确实彼此独立存在，并且它们与系统的所有权状态相关。非营利性和教会-其他系统表现出相似的战略方向，这与天主教和投资者所有系统不同。
