This proposal develops a new approach to the study of strategic decision making among firms over time. Decisions made by firms with respect to repositioning themselves vis.a.vis other firms are important in understanding the behavior of organizations but, to date, have been studied very little in terms of a dynamic process that is induced by stress but made difficult for reasons of organizational inertia. This proposal will develop a dynamic model of the strategic decision.making process typically employed by firms, focusing not on any single dimension of the search process (e.g., the spatial aspects of search behavior) but on a broad set of concerns that include organizational, cognitive, and political factors. The project is believed likely to make a contribution to the study of organizational behavior and includes an empirical analysis, involving a longitudinal study of strategic mobility decisions within two industrial sectors, that is considered to be both appropriate and original. The study will furthermore compare the empirical model to an existing data base, developed from a study of the pharmaceutical industry, and to alternative models of strategic change. The principal investigators on the project are highly qualified and well able to explore both the theoretical and applied lessons of the project.

这一建议发展了一种新的方法来研究企业之间的战略决策。企业作出的关于相对于其他企业重新定位自己的决定对于理解组织的行为很重要，但迄今为止，在由压力引起的动态过程方面的研究很少，但由于组织惯性的原因而变得困难。这个建议将发展一个战略决策的动态模型。企业通常采用的决策过程，不关注搜索过程的任何单一维度（例如，搜索行为的空间方面），而是关注包括组织、认知和政治因素在内的广泛关注点。该项目被认为可能对组织行为的研究作出贡献，并包括一项实证分析，涉及对两个工业部门内战略流动决定的纵向研究，这被认为既适当又新颖。该研究将进一步将实证模型与现有的从制药业研究中发展出来的数据库以及战略变革的替代模型进行比较。该项目的主要研究人员素质很高，能够很好地探索项目的理论和应用经验教训。
