• Environmental Scanning
  • A scanning organization with strategic objectives whose achievement depends on external conditions

    This sourceModels organizations as interpretation systems whose scanning, equivocality reduction, and strategy depend on beliefs about environmental analyzability and organizational intrusiveness. SUPPORTS marker 152 (scanning organization with strategic objectives dependent on external conditions), marker 158 (adequate environmental sensing as prerequisite for goal-directed action), marker 163 (scanning captures only what fits the scanner's mental models; paradigm-breaking shifts fall outside the frame), and re-sourced marker 165 (strengthening within-frame coverage worsens out-of-frame blindness).
