Evaluation of Business Strategic Decisions Under Changing Environment Conditions

Abstract

A problem of strategic decisions evaluation under changing environment conditions is analyzed in this article. In the context of these conditions the use of scenarios’ method, integrating scenarios formation into strategic decisions evaluation process, is perspective. The combination of multicriteria evaluation and scenarios’ method allows versatile evaluation of strategic decisions in aspects of usefulness and viability regarding perspective environment situations. A universal scenarios formation technology oriented towards facilitation of scenarios creation using a graphic tool ‐ ‘ Scenarios Roads’ Analysis’ is offered. Methodological guidelines of strategic decisions evaluation applying multicriteria evaluation and scenarios’ method combination is provided as well as their acceptability tested on experiment results.

Managing Maturity in Process-Based Improvement Organizations: A Perspective of the Romanian Companies

“…Experience has shown that companies do their best when they focus their process-improvement efforts on a manageable number of process areas or those business decisions that require increasingly sophisticated effort as the organization improves (Ladley 2010;Yuan et al 2009;Zinkevičiūtė 2007;Humphrey 1989). A maturity level is a defined evolutionary scale of process improvement.…”

A scenario-based modelling approach to identify robust transformation strategies for pulp and paper companies

“…In Goodwin and Wright (2001), a multi-attribute value function, based on a subjective 100-0 value scoring, is integrated into a scenario-based framework to evaluate the robustness of different strategies. Similar frameworks have been proposed, based on multi-attribute scoring functions, to assess the impact of different scenarios on each strategy proposed (Ram et al, 2011;Ram and Montibeller, 2013;Montibeller et al, 2006;Zinkevičiūte, 2007;Schroeder and Lambert, 2011;Karvetski et al, 2011).…”

Theoretical Substation of the Model for Crisis Management in Organization

“…Following this field of research, the scientific investigation of literature makes a point about the application of strategic management: Vaitkevicius, S. (2007); Slater, Olson & Hult (2006) demonstrate the moderating influence of strategic orientation on the strategy and formation capabilityperformance relationship; Gudonavicius, Bartoseviciene, & Saparnis (2009) analyse imperatives for enterprise strategists; Kubrak, Koval, Kavaliauskas &Sakalas (2009) discuss organizational structure forming problems in modern industrial enterprise; Tijunaitiene, Neverauskas (2009) consider activation of participation motivation directed towards agents and present a conceptual model. Diskiene, Galiniene & Marcinskas, (2008) presented a strategic management model for economic development; Zinkeviciute (2007) analyze a problem of strategic decisions evaluation under changing environment conditions.…”
