摘要

We examined the effects of perceived strategic uncertainty in seven environmental sectors on the scanning behavior of Russian executives. Strategic uncertainty was highest in sectors influenced by transition and was moderated by perceptions of accessibility in determining scanning frequency, a relationship that held in predicting sources of information scanned. The perceived importance of environmental conditions was central to the relationships, suggesting that decomposition of the strategic uncertainty construct facilitates more insightful analysis of scanning behavior.
