Strategic problem solving adoption and its impact in companies’ success
| Resumo: | Today’s world is characterized by a fast paced, constantly evolving environment, presenting companies and business managers with more complex, uncertain and urgent challenges than ever before. In order to remain relevant, companies need to be alert, permanently identifying and addressing potential threats and opportunities. Permanent transformation plays a determinant role for companies who strive and are successful. However, more than just solutions definition or decision-making processes, it is of the utmost importance to understand how companies identify, analyze, prioritize and overcome these challenges. Due to its nature, strategic problems often entail a much higher risk than recurrent or at least known problems, thus becoming critical to analyze how business managers approach such problems. For that matter, building on prior research of complex problem solving, this study allowed to identify the type of approaches adopted to address strategic problems and the factors that have a greater influence in the approach application. |
