Abstract

Scholars have recently emphasized a need to advance the attention-based view to account for a new “post-Chandlerian” environment wherein firms organized along Chandlerian m-form lines are increasingly unable to cope with rapid and discontinuous changes and strategic issues that can emerge anywhere in the organization. This paper works to make such an advance by drawing on the underdeveloped idea of attentional control – that is direction of members’ attention - within the ABV. The paper develops the concept of attentional control systems and as its core contribution proposes that firms can use issue-specific emergent attentional control systems to address emergent strategic issues that are characteristic of post-Chandlerian environments. Key components of these systems include emergent, issue-specific communication channels, reconfigured roles, and interactive control practices. These three interrelated attentional control mechanisms enable attentional dynamism and high-quality attention to be directed towards emergent strategic issues, thus mediating effective strategic decision-making as well as resource commitment and ultimately enhancing strategic adaptation.

EXPRESS:后钱德勒时代突发战略问题的注意力控制系统
学者们最近强调,有必要推进基于注意力的观点,以解释一种新的“后钱德勒”环境,在这种环境中,沿着钱德勒m型线组织的公司越来越无法应对组织中任何地方可能出现的快速和不连续的变化和战略问题。本文试图通过借鉴ABV中注意力控制(即成员注意力的方向)这一不成熟的概念来取得这样的进步。本文发展了注意力控制系统的概念,并作为其核心贡献,提出企业可以使用特定问题的紧急注意力控制系统来解决后钱德勒环境中特有的紧急战略问题。这些系统的关键组成部分包括紧急的、特定问题的沟通渠道、重新配置的角色和交互式控制实践。这三种相互关联的注意力控制机制使注意力动态和高质量的注意力能够被引导到紧急的战略问题上,从而介导有效的战略决策和资源承诺,并最终加强战略适应。
