Abstrakty

Celem artykułu jest zbadanie możliwości łączenia przeciwstawnych orientacji w ramach stylu myślenia strategicznego. W artykule dokonano prezentacji wyników badań literaturowych i empirycznych. Na podstawie systematycznego przeglądu literatury został opracowany wielowymiarowy konstrukt opisujący styl myślenia strategicznego, który następnie wykorzystano jako podstawę w badaniach jakościowych. Badania te obejmowały indywidualne wywiady pogłębione (IDIs) (n = 18) z menedżerami najwyższego szczebla. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują na możliwość łączenia przeciwstawnych orientacji w ramach wszystkich pięciu zidentyfikowanych wymiarów opisujących styl myślenia strategicznego, wpisując się tym samym w dorobek literaturowy z obszaru paradoksów i oburęczności strategicznej.(abstrakt oryginalny)

The goal of the paper is to present the literature review results and empirical findings on combining opposite orientations within a strategic thinking style. The construct with five independent dimensions describing a strategic thinking style was conceptualized based on a systematic literature review and used as a framework in the qualitative study. The empirical study includes individual in-depth interviews (n=18) with top-level managers. The findings show it is possible to combine opposite orientations in all five identified dimensions describing the strategic thinking style in line with the literature on paradoxes and strategic ambidexterity.(original abstract)
