摘要：While posing a real problem for management practitioners, environmental turbulence finds only fleeting and fragmented mention in the mainstream academic literature of management. This article discusses turbulence, traces its origins, and subjects it to critique. Based on observations of responses to it, and several theoretical streams, including new theories such as hypercompetition and chaos theory, a framework of responsiveness to turbulence is presented and discussed, and a set of propositions presented. The rationale behind the framework is that successful responses to turbulence are contingent on sociocultural as well as technical-economic conditions in the environment.
