This study is aimed at examining the effects of organisational strategies on the performance of companies in the Nigerian telecommunication industry.

The study population is composed of 19,459 top and middle level management staff of telecommunication industry and the study adopted a survey research design. Combinations of judgemental and stratified random sampling techniques were used to select four major service providers in the industry and 377 respondents who are member s staff of the organisations as sample size. Out of the 377 copies of questionnaire distributed, 356 were retrieved and analysed. Cronbach s alpha was used to test the internal consistency of the research instrument. Three hypotheses were tested using inferential statistics, analysis of variance and regression analysis to establish the relationship among the variables. The study showed a positive influence of the increase in the number of combined strategies on organisational performance. The study reaffirmed the efficacy of Mile and Snow s competitive strategy in the Nigeria Telecommunication Industry.
