Dear sir,
I have trouble understanding one sentence in the second paragraph of past paper answer about ” strategy as experience” . The sentence is as follows:
” as ….suggest, this is ” strongly driven by the taken-for granted assumptions and ways of doing things embedded in the culture of the organization.””
I just wonder the meaning of the sentence, sorry for my poor understanding as English is not my first language. Your favorable help will be highly appreciated.
MileyDear Sir,
Does the take-for-granted assumptions mean ignore the mission or objective of the organization, such as ignoring the mission of seeking profits for private companies.‘Take for granted’ means that you use current assumptions and ways of doing business as though they were self-evidently correct and that there were no other approaches that might work or be better.
This is in line with the strategy as experience: stick to what you know.
A more innovative look at how to do business is often needed so that new ideas are considered.
