Environmental analysis: The applicability of current theory
指出高管面临评估组织环境的压力，但环境概念、视角和组织方式缺乏共识，因此考察了环境分析的替代模型，并讨论了理论问题及其管理启示。
Abstract It is suggested that senior‐level executives and corporate staff are under mounting pressure to develop better means for assessing organizational environments. This comes at a time when there is little agreement about the concept of environment, relevant perspectives from which it should be viewed, and how to organize for its evaluation. Alternative ‘models’ for environmental analysis are examined, and theoretical issues and their administrative implications are discussed.
