dc.description.abstract | This paper assumes that pursuing long-term goals to build
organizational competence and capabilities, such as developing strategic technologies, is a right thing for managers to do. However, pressures on the managers to generate short-term financial profits make it difficult to pursue the long-term goals. Hence, it is necessary for long-term oriented managers to arm themselves with an overarching philosophy to uphold their visions, goals, and projects. The first objective of this study is to develop a philosophical framework for the long-term oriented managers to explain and justi@ what they are doing. Managers equipped with this framework will'find it easier to mobilize support from internal and external constituencies. The second objective of this study is to formulate a model for the planning managers to think in time-streams to realize their long-term goals in the shortest possible time. The planning model to think in time streams involves three steps. The first step is to visualize a desired future in terms of new products, technologies, and trust relationships. The second step is mapping backward (from the desired future to the present) to create catalytic means to accelerate the realization of the vision. The third step is to weigh the expected long-term gains against the short-term losses coming from the means, and analyze contingencies as to when shortterm concerns should be recognized or take priority. As for research methods, this study draws on concepts and definitions developed from both natural and social sciences, and applies them to analyze historical cases in business management. This research acknowledges the 'paradigm of new science' maintaining that nature is so creative, innovative, and even intelligent, that she can intimate wisdom and intelligence to modern-day organizational managers. This study analyzes scientific facts (e.g., the Brachistochrone) that intimate nature's intelligence to minimize the time it takes to achieve its final (or long-term) goal. As a conclusion, | - |
