Crafting Compromises in a Strategising Process: A Case Study of an International Development Organisation
研究了国际发展非政府组织成员如何在多元冲突观点中制定可信合法的战略计划，通过相互调整和让步达成共识，揭示了适应批评和连接新旧战略两个关键过程。
Abstract This paper focuses on how organisational members in non‐governmental organisations (NGO) can develop credible and legitimate strategic plans and positions out of diverse and conflicting perspectives. Using empirical data drawn from a strategic planning episode in an international development NGO, the study examines the process of ‘crafting compromises’ whereby organisational members make mutual adjustments and concessions to reach consensus on new strategic plans and positions. The analysis shows that two processes facilitate crafting compromises in strategising; being adaptive and responsive to critique as strategic positions are developed, and an ability to forge relevant connections between new strategic proposals and past strategic positions.
