    TECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITY AND PERCEPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL UNCERTAINTY (ONE-MULDIMENSIONAL) OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS TAKING MANAGEMENT COURSES

    Published date: 29/12/2020
    Technological Capability (TC) has been exploited by decision makers of different organizations as a driver of strategies, due to Environmental Uncertainties (EU). This study aims to correlate the TC with the perception of EU, both one-dimensional and multidimensional, to determine the strategy and its congruence with environmental perception. A survey was carried out using quantitative research. The sample was comprised of 123 undergraduate students of the business courses of a public federal university. The data collection was carried out in loco, using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Spearman's correlation, developed in the software program PASW Statistics. The results indicate that TC has a one-dimensional and multidimensional positive and significant association with the perception of EU, as well as being in keeping with what the seminal theory advocates. Likewise, it was found that strategies focused on the use of information technology add more information and, consequently, a better understanding of factors and events that can threaten the organization (EU), which are generated by dynamic and complex scenarios.
