Abstract
The purpose of our study is to research the sequence of strategy and structure. Due
to a theoretical gap between the propositions; strategy follows structure and structure follows
strategy, this indicates the need for new research in today’s dynamic environment.
According to the chosen dimensions, the sequence initially follows the ideas of
the structure follows strategy. However, as the strategy is becoming clearer and more defined,
the sequence of strategy and structure indicates factors from strategy follows structure.
Concluding that House of Dagmar adapts its strategy and structure in a tit-for-tat relationship,
as a result of the dynamic environment they are acting in.
