AB The aim of this study is to examine the way top managers scan environmental conditionsto diagnose and interpret issues during periods of crisis. Despite each of theseprocesses being widely and individually represented in the research literature, thereis a lack of integrative models that examine their internal dynamics in-depth. Inthis study, structural equation modeling methodology (EQS 6.3) was applied to asample of 120 top managers to examine how the cognitive orientation of scanning(rational vs. intuitive analysis of environment) may influence final issue categorizations.Results confirm that not only is procedural rationality needed when scanningthe environment, as traditional arguments have posited, but also that intuition playsa relevant role, complementing rational processes and configuring a mixed set ofcompetencies to assess different issue dimensions, such as favorability, urgency, andinfluence.
