Abstract

In this Dialog, seven scholars consider the theoretical implications and research opportunities a changing environment presents for the Attention-Based View (ABV). With its roots in the 1950s Carnegie School, ABV is expanding and evolving in ways that accommodate the changes in the corporate context characterized by distributed, porous structures of organizational networks such as ecosystems and platforms. The authors emphasize a shift toward a more dynamic orientation of this research, one that addresses the challenges of sustaining coherent attention and sensemaking, a shift from quantity to quality of attention, and how corporate communications ranging from formalized strategy presentations to less formal social media communications can spin attention in ways that lead to intended as well as unintended outcomes. Emerging organizational trends open up radically different perspectives on attention: today's superstar firms draw new kinds of attention and many new business models are based upon the attraction and selling of customer attention.

这是一个不同的世界:关于后钱德勒世界中基于注意力的观点的对话

在这篇对话中，七位学者讨论了环境变化给注意基础观点带来的理论意义和研究机会。ABV起源于20世纪50年代的卡内基学院，它正在以适应企业环境变化的方式进行扩展和发展，这些变化以生态系统和平台等组织网络的分布式、多孔结构为特征。作者强调了本研究向更动态方向的转变，即解决保持连贯的注意力和意义的挑战，从注意力的数量到注意力的质量的转变，以及从正式的战略演示到不太正式的社交媒体传播的企业沟通如何以导致预期和意外结果的方式转移注意力。新兴的组织趋势打开了对注意力的完全不同的视角:今天的超级明星公司吸引了新的注意力，许多新的商业模式都是基于吸引和销售客户的注意力。

The journal seeks to maintain a constructive balance between innovation and quality, and at the same time widely define the forms that relevant contributions to the field can take.
