dc.description.abstract | Based on questionnaire data on a sample of Indian organizations, the paper identifies
some of the internal and environmental generators of a vigorous mode of management
labelled the pioneering-innovative (PI) mode. The internal generators — top
management goals and policies —
appear to be stronger shapers of PI than
environmental variables. The primary generators appear to be management commitment
to attracting talented, creative staff; operating autonomy for managers; striving
for greater efficiency; opportunistic diversification; and preference for marketing novel
products/services. An opportunity-rich environment, a strong stakeholder orientation,
commitment to the organization operating in frontier areas, and a mixture of organic
and professionalist administrative policies seem to be significant secondary generators
of PI. Several implications of the findings for socially engineering PI are developed. | |
