Managerial focus in changing environments
This paper explores the way top managers attend to their ever-changing environments. A longitudinal study including top managers from two organizations, a large national bank and an industrial firm operating worldwide, was conducted. Analysis of the top-managers environmental attributions revealed several interesting findings. The managers in the two organizations differed in their environmental foci. Dramatic changes in environmental focus were observed when the top managers in the two firms were replaced. The findings indicate that top managers' environmental foci are selective, and tend to be rather rigid. Implications are highlighted.
