Turbulence

Definition of Turbulence

Levels of Environmental Turbulence* – stable and/or turbulent environments are determined by a five point scale (not provided here) and defined by two elements, as follows::

Unpredictability: Visibility of future, and Speed of change.
Changeability: Novelty of Events (familiarity), and Complexity, which contains:
Scope (ranging from local to global), and
Decision Making and/or Judgements that are affected by interaction of the Entities containing societal institutions, namely: economy, education, environment (ecology), health, marriage & the family, law & order, information & media, politics, religion, technology, and maybe other.
*Levels of Environmental Turbulence: A combined measure of the degree of:

Unpredictability: produces uncertainty, and
Changeability: produces discontinuity.
Results of the measure are two types of turbulences:

Negative: turbulence which poses threats to the firm.
Positive: turbulence which presents opportunities to the firm.
