Based on identified casual linkages, the environmental dimensions are classified into strategic, transmitter, instrumental, and isolated. A causal network is constructed. Distinction is drawn between the direct and network organizational effects of changes in environmental perceptions. Implications are drawn for a dynamic organization theory.
