以两个企业应对两个环境变化的5个意义构建过程为研究对象,分析高管团队心理所有权如何导致企业意义构建过程的差异,企业意义构建过程的差异如何影响管理认知内容变化的方向,及企业应对环境变化的战略反应方式。研究发现:环境变化后,企业间存在问题解决型和自我增强型两种截然不同的意义构建过程,这是造成企业战略反应方式差异的根本原因。高管团队心理所有权影响着环境变化后企业采取哪种意义构建过程。研究结论有助于企业在环境发生变化时有效地控制自身的战略反应方式。
Drawing on a case study based on two firms~ five processes of sensemaking, it is theo- rized that there are two distinct sensemaking processes: "problem-solving" and "self-enhancing". Firms~ strategic responses may be dynamic matching with the environment in problem-solving sense- making process, and the self-enhancing sensemaking process may lead to strategic path dependence. Then we find that TMT psychological ownership influence sensemaking mode. Firms would engage in self-enhancing mode sensemaking process when TMT psyehologieal ownership is high, and engage in problem-solving mode sensemaking process when TMT psychological ownership is low. We develop a theoretical model involving psychological ownership, differences in sensemaking, and the mode of strategic responses to explain how firms' responses to environmental change. These insights into the behavior mechanisms of strategic responses help explaining the practices and conditions that produce organizational inertia and change when environment changes.
