Research notes and communications strategic process effects on consensus
研究了战略过程（综合式与渐进式）如何影响高层管理团队的共识范围、内容和程度，并区分了共识的两个维度：共同理解和承诺。
Abstract Strategy research has not shown a consistent relationship between consensus in the top management team and organizational performance. This paper attempts to explain these findings by providing a description of how the strategic process affects consensus. Synoptic and incremental processes are compared in terms of their effects on the scope, content, and degree of consensus. In addition, two dimensions of consensus, shared understanding and commitment, are considered. Implications for research are addressed.
