| Abstract: | The relationship among perceived strategic uncertainty (PSU), environmental scanning and the information sources used by owner-managers of a sample of 153 small high-technology manufacturing companies are examined in this study. The results indicate that increased scanning activities are associated with high levels of PSU. The results also suggest that owner-managers of younger companies respond to uncertainty differently than their counterparts in more mature companies. |
