Toward a Model of Organizations as Interpretation Systems
提出一个比较模型，将组织视为解释系统，描述四种解释模式（制定、发现、无导向观察、条件观察），并假设这些模式与环境扫描、模糊性降低、战略和决策的组织差异相关。
A comparative model of organizations as interpretation systems is proposed. The model describes four interpretation modes: enacting,discovering, undirected viewing, and conditioned viewing. Each mode is determined by (1) management’s beliefs about the environment and (2)organizational intrusiveness. Interpretation modes are hypothesized to be associated with organizational differences in environmental scanning,equivocality reduction, strategy, and decision making.
