The relationship between organizational configurations and performance has been a frequent albeit controversial subject of research in the field of strategic management. Many studies have filled to find a link between configurations and performance, leading prominet researchers to question the value of the concept of ogranizational configurations. Before the concept can be discarded, however, other plausible explanations for the lack of findings should be examined. This paper examinses the possible role of statistical power. Specifically, it may be that the sample sizes in many studies are too small to detect relationships between configurations and performance when such links are, in fact, present. Analysis of 24 tests of the configurations - performance link revealed that only 8 percent had samples large enough to detect all important relationships. Thus, there is reason to suspect that insufficient statistical power may help to explain extant results. Given these findings, suggestions are presented for improving the ability of configurational studies to detect relationships.
