Environmental analysis units and strategic decision‐making: A field study of selected ‘leading‐edge’ corporations
研究企业专门的环境扫描单元在战略决策中的作用，通过对10家前沿企业的实地调查，发现这些单元若与战略规划流程脱节则易被边缘化。
Abstract In response to increasing environmental change many corporations have developed specialized environmental scanning units. Previous research reveals conflicting findings regarding the viability of these units for introducing environmentally relevant information into strategic decision processes. A field study was conducted on 10 ‘leading‐edge’ corporations. The results show continuing experimentation with alternative administrative structures and the vulnerability of units that are not tightly linked with strategic planning processes.
