Toward a Model of Organizations as Interpretation Systems
1984 · Academy of Management Review · DOI 10.5465/amr.1984.4277657

A comparative model of organizations as interpretation systems is proposed. The model describes four interpretation modes: enacting,discovering, undirected viewing, and conditioned viewing. Each mode is determined by (1) management’s beliefs about the environment and (2)organizational intrusiveness. Interpretation modes are hypothesized to be associated with organizational differences in environmental scanning,equivocality reduction, strategy, and decision making.
