Strategic awareness within top management teams

Donald C. Hambrick

Strategic Management Journal, 1981, vol. 2, issue 3, 263-279

Abstract: ‘Strategic awareness’ is viewed in two ways: the extent to which an executive's perception of the organization's strategy aligns (a) with the organization's ‘realized’ strategy and (b) with the chief executive's perception. Strategic awareness is positively related to hierarchical level, but differs across the three industries studied. Awareness is greater in organizations that have recently changed their strategies than in those that have not.
