EN
The aim of the study was to identify strategists’ attitudes towards the efficiency vs flexibility dilemma under uncertainty. The research was conducted in a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with strategists (n = 18). The findings reveal that, in the face of uncertainty, various strategic attitudes emerge. In addition to strategies focused on optimisation (efficiency) or resource reserves (flexibility), defensive and offensive attitudes were revealed, thereby constituting a matrix of responses to the examined dilemma.

Celem opracowania jest identyfikacja postaw strategów wobec dylematu związanego z dążeniem do efektywności vs elastyczności w warunkach niepewności. W przeprowadzonym badaniu zastosowano podejście jakościowe z wykorzystaniem pogłębionych wywiadów ze strategami (n = 18). Wyniki pokazały, że w warunkach niepewności różnie kształtuje się sposób postrzegania badanego dylematu. Obok postaw skierowanych na optymalizację (efektywność) lub rezerwy zasobowe (elastyczność) ujawniają się również zachowania defensywne i ofensywne, tworząc tym samym macierz postaw wobec badanego dylematu.
