Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify and examine differences in organizational slack across multiple industries. Using a sample of 353 US publicly traded firms, eight measures of organizational slack were examined across six 2-digit SIC industry groupings. The author’s analyses revealed significant differences across industries in each of the slack measures examined. Implications and areas for future research are discussed.
