Top management teams and organizational renewal
提出高层管理团队应包含不同认知风格(直觉型、情感型、思考型、感觉型)的成员,这种多样性有助于识别和利用战略机会,推动组织持续更新,并给出了供后续实证研究的命题。
Increasingly the makeup of the top management group is believed to affect the development, identification and exploitation of strategic opportunities. This paper explains a creative management model, which goes beyond conventional strategic management, and identifies the behaviors of top managers needed for the ongoing renewal of their business. It is proposed these behaviors cluster and can be aligned with different and distinct cognitive styles or types. The implication is that top management groups should be composed of a mix of types. This paper posits a mix of Jungian types, Intuitives, Feelers, Thinkers and Sensors. This diversity can yield great strength if the differences can be focused and unified. Propositions and suggestions for further empirical research are developed.
