Reconsidering the Strategic Implications of Decision Comprehensiveness
指出过去研究在测量决策全面性时存在理论变量与测量变量不一致的问题,并混淆了不确定性、模糊性和不稳定性,进而重新定义问题,提出刻画组织信息环境的方法,以帮助研究者更精确地识别全面性价值变化的情境。
A key question in strategy is whether comprehensiveness enables firms to make better strategic decisions in various environments. I identify two problems hindering efforts to answer this question: past studies have generally theorized about a different dependent variable than they have measured, and they have conflated the concepts of uncertainty, ambiguity, and instability in accounting for environmental moderation. I then reframe the question and propose ways of characterizing organizational information environments so researchers can identify more precisely those real-world contexts across which the value of comprehensiveness varies.
