ENVIRONMENTAL VOLATILITY, SYSTEM ADAPTATION, PLANNING REQUIREMENTS, AND INFORMATION‐PROCESSING STRATEGIES: AN INTEGRATIVE MODEL

In: Decision sciences, Band 17, Heft 4, S. 454-474

Abstract

ABSTRACTAs noted in the literature, comparatively little research has examined either descriptive or prescriptive modeling of the planning process. A major reason for this lack of research appears to be the difficulty of comparing and testing planning methods within and across actual organizations. The purpose of this paper is to present a prescriptive planning model based on information‐processing research and strategies. This model explicitly considers the linkages among the environment, the organization's adaptation to that environment, the type of planning, and information‐processing strategies.
