Environmental uncertainty and environmental scanning activities of nigerian manufacturing executives: A comparative analysis
研究了47家尼日利亚制造企业CEO对环境不确定性的感知与其环境扫描行为的关系，发现任务环境的不确定性感知更高，且不确定性增加时扫描频率和兴趣也增加，并与美国高管进行了比较。
Abstract This study investigated the relationship between perception of environmental uncertainty (PEU) and environmental scanning behavior of Chief Executive Officers of 47 manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The results indicated that perceived uncertainty in the environment was significantly higher for the task environment sectors than for the remote environment sectors; and as perceived uncertainty increased in a sector of the environment, scanning frequency and scanning interests also increased. The results were compared with those of prior research in the area of environmental scanning. The results show both the economic and political legal sectors of the environment to be more salient for Nigerian manufacturing executives than for their American counterparts.
