Abstract (De)
Drawing onto dual process theories of cognition and personality, I argue that
crafting issues, as a managerial endeavor, consists of the interplay between
automatic and reflective interpretive processes which, in combination,
account for variation in outcomes of issue crafting, that is in the breadth
and intensity of managers' issue repertoire and issue advocacies. I argue
that breadth in the issue repertoire is enabled by the overriding function
of reflective processes (as manifest in managers' personal epistemologies).
In turn, intensity of the issue repertoire is enabled by the existence of
automatic processes (as manifest in personal ideologies). Highlighting both
automatic and reflective processes involved in managerial issue crafting,
contributions are made to the issue-, managerial cognition, sensemaking-,
and micro-based views of strategy-making
