Abstract

Strategic initiatives are temporary group undertakings designed to renew organizational capabilities and are crucial to organizational performance. Despite the inherent goal heterogeneity stemming from individual, departmental, organizational, and initiative levels, research conceptualizes goals as unitary within the team. Our objective is to explore ways to manage goal heterogeneity for the successful development of strategic initiatives within the intraorganizational context. We argue that organizational controls and decision comprehensiveness can be effective in mitigating the negative effects of heterogeneity. This will help facilitate a group of individuals in behaving as a team and being committed to the agreed-upon task at hand. We also articulate the positive role of strategic consensus in moving initiatives in the resource allocation process. Our theory building provides a roadmap for managing strategic initiatives in the resource allocation process and contributes to research on strategic initiatives and goals and, more broadly, to behavioral theory.

管理战略计划中的目标异质性

战略行动是临时性的团体行动，旨在更新组织能力，对组织绩效至关重要。尽管在个人、部门、组织和主动性层面上存在固有的目标异质性，但研究将目标概念化为团队内部的统一目标。我们的目标是探索管理目标异质性的方法，以便在组织内部环境中成功地开发战略计划。我们认为，组织控制和决策综合可以有效地减轻异质性的负面影响。这将有助于促进一群人作为一个团队的行为，并致力于手头商定的任务。我们也阐明了战略共识在推动资源分配过程中的积极作用。我们的理论构建为在资源分配过程中管理战略计划提供了路线图，并有助于研究战略计划和目标，更广泛地说，有助于行为理论。
