– The paper's aim is to report a research study on the mediator and outcome variable sets in scenario planning.
– This is a cannonical correlation analysis (CCA)
– Twso sets of variables; one as a predictor set that explained a significant amount of variability in the second, or outcome set of variables were found.
– The study did not involve random selection or assignment and used perception-based measures.
– The findings support scenario planning as a tool to reinforce certain decision styles and learning organization culture.
– A critical contribution to scenario planning research, this study brings some order to the variety of variables espoused to be involved in scenario work. Clear outcomes are a learning culture and intuitive/dependent decision styles. The study makes a real contribution to quantitative scenario studies.
