Lecture 6 Topics Observation Observation Sampling STROBE

Observation helps confirm what has been found through other methods Observation provides insight on what organizational members actually do Observation provides information about decision makers and their environments that is unavailable through any other method Observation helps confirm what has been found through other methods

Observing Decision Makers Guidelines Decide what is to be observed (activities) Decide the level of concreteness of the activities Create category of activities that adequately capture key activities Prepare appropriate scales, checklists, or other materials for observation Decide when to observe

Basic Approaches to observation Time sampling Observe the decision maker’s activity 5 randomly chosen 10 minutes intervals throughout 7 days Advantage: Reduce bias from random Observation Views the activities that occurs frequently Disadvantage: May not give the entire picture Event sampling Sampling a single event Event Example: board meeting, training session Observation of an important event More time Observe the body language of the decision maker

Recording Observations Systematic techniques for recording observations include Adjective pairs Category systems Play scripts Checklists Scales

Adjective Pairs

Category Systems

Playscript

STROBE (STRuctured OBservation of the Environment ) A technique for observing the decision maker's environment Provides a standard methodology and classification for the analysis of the elements that influence decision making Other analysts can apply the same framework to the same organization Limits analysis to the organization as it exists during the current life cycle stage

Analyzes the following environmental elements STROBE Elements Analyzes the following environmental elements Office location Placement of the decision maker's desk Stationary office equipment Props External objects Office lighting and color

Accessible offices Inaccessible offices Main corridors, open door Office Location Accessible offices Main corridors, open door Major traffic flow area Increase interaction frequency and informal messages Inaccessible offices May view the organization differently Drift apart from others in objectives

Placement of the Decision Maker's Desk Visitors placed in a tight space, back to wall, large expanse behind desk Indicates maximum power position Desk facing the wall, chair at side Encourages participation Equal exchanges

Stationary Office Equipment File cabinets, bookshelves, and large storage equipment If not present, person stores few items of information personally If an abundance, person stores and values information

Pens, pencils, and rulers If present, person processes data personally Props Calculators Personal computers Pens, pencils, and rulers If present, person processes data personally

Trade Journals and Newspapers Trade journals or newspapers present indicate the person values outside information Company reports, memos, policy handbooks indicate the person values internal information

Office Lighting and Color Warm, incandescent lighting indicates A tendency toward more personal communication Gather more informal information Brightly lit, bright colors Gather information in more formal ways (memos, reports)
