The Lack of Consensus About Strategic Consensus: Advancing Theory and Research
分析了战略共识价值研究结论不一致的理论和方法原因，提出需要根据情境定义共识、考虑不同层级管理者认知差异、选择前因变量并一致使用调节变量。
The purpose of this article is to describe the theoretical and methodological reasons for the inconsistent findings on the value of strategic consensus. This analysis suggests the need for (a) definitions of consensus that align the locus and content of agreement with the study context and theoretical premises; (b) measures of consensus that take account of locus as well as differences in how the content of strategy is perceived by top-, middle-, and lower-level managers; (c) research designs wherein assumptions about the locus and content of consensus govern the choice of antecedents; and (d) more consistent use of moderators.
