In this study of 162 hospitals, it was found that the chief executive officer's (CEO's) interpretation of strategic issues is related to the existing hospital strategy and the hospital's information processing structure. Strategy was related to interpretation in terms of the extent to which a given strategic issue was perceived as controllable or uncontrollable. Structure was related to the extent to which an issue was defined as positive or negative, was labeled as controllable or uncontrollable, and was perceived as leading to a gain or a loss. Together, strategy and structure accounted for a significant part of the variance in CEO interpretations of strategic events. The theoretical and managerial implications of these findings are discussed.
在这项对162家医院的研究中,发现首席执行官(CEO)对战略问题的解读与医院现有的战略以及医院的信息处理结构有关。战略与解读的关联体现在特定战略问题被视为可控或不可控的程度上。结构与问题被定义为积极或消极、被标记为可控或不可控以及被视为会导致收益或损失的程度有关。战略和结构共同解释了CEO对战略事件解读中很大一部分的差异。讨论了这些发现的理论和管理意义。
