Correlation of the McKinsey 7S Model with the Main Financial Indicators Within an Entity

Financial diagnosis represents an essential component of financial analysis, identifying both the strengths and vulnerabilities of an entity’s activity, while proposing measures to perpetuate favorable elements and improve unfavorable ones. This process must be carried out as comprehensively as possible. Therefore, in addition to identifying strengths and weaknesses, it is necessary to understand their causality. Thus, if financial indicators represent the “symptoms”, it is very important to determine the underlying causes that generate them. In this regard, we consider the application of the McKinsey 7S model appropriate, as it is based on seven managerial dimensions of a company, namely strategy, structure, systems, shared values, style, staff, and skills. This article presents a study of how the McKinsey 7S model correlates with the main financial indicators over a 10-year period (2016–2025), within a representative local entity, namely Curtici Agro-Industrial Complex (CAI Curtici).
