The trials and tribulations of addressing global organizational ignorance
The dynamic process of globalizing an organization's business activities is marked with uncertainty and high risk due to, in part, the global organizational ignorance of management. In this paper, the authors examine the nature and forms of global organizational ignorance as well as the environmental factors contributing to its emergence. Drawing on the body of theoretical developments and empirical findings the authors identify specific managerial errors and contexts associated with the phenomena of probabilistic and pluralistic ignorance. The authors summarize a means of classifying the causes of ignorance into a practical framework in an effort to facilitate managerial attention to the issue of global organizational ignorance.
