Measuring Environmental Complexity
研究指出环境复杂性是多维概念，现有测量过于狭窄。通过两期行业数据的因子分析，建议采用多维测量方法。
Researchers attempting to measure environmental complexity remain challenged by the lack of a theoretically compelling and empirically sound scheme for operationalizing this important construct. The authors' synthesis of complexity's supporting literatures leads them to conclude that complexity is a multidimensional construct that has been operationalized overly narrowly in many cases. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of industry-level data drawn from two periods support this conclusion and suggest that researchers should consider specifying a multidimensional measure of environmental complexity.
