Resumo: This essay concerns the fixation of objective meaning in high-discretion decisions and actions under uncertainty and conflict. It collects and develops arguments in the literature, to show how this fixation happens. The approach to concept development was a pragmatic and integrative literature review on strategic decision-making. There are two kinds of objective meanings. The general objective meaning of strategic action consists of the mission and systemic objectives set by the organization’s dominant coalition. Under conflict and uncertainty, guided by the general objective meaning, organizational cognitive processes identify and analyze uncertainties, manage conflict, and set the specific objective meaning. Such processes are immanent in the development of and choice among alternatives. These concepts – organizational cognitive processes, necessary social relationships to organization, and specific objective meaning – and their causal articulation are the main contribution of this piece. Organizational pragmatism prevails as well as an interpretation that fixates objective meanings.

El objetivo es colectar y desarrollar argumentos en la literatura y articularlos para mostrar cómo ocurre esa fijación. El enfoque de desarrollo conceptual fue una revisión pragmática e integrativa de literatura sobre toma de decisiones estratégicas. Emergen dos tipos de sentido objetivo. El sentido objetivo general de la acción estratégica consiste en la misión y objetivos sistémicos definidos por la coalición dominante. Bajo incertidumbre y conflicto, guiados por el sentido objetivo general, procesos cognitivos organizacionales identifican y analizan incertidumbres, diagnostican situaciones, seleccionan oportunidades, elaboran alternativas, gestionan conflictos y fijan el sentido objetivo específico. Dichos procesos son inmanentes al desarrollo y a la elección de alternativas. Tres conceptos – procesos cognitivos organizacionales, relaciones sociales necesarias a la organización, y el sentido objetivo específico – y su articulación causal son la principal contribución de este trabajo. Prevalece el pragmatismo organizacional, así como una interpretación que fija sentidos objetivos.Este ensaio teoriza sobre a fixação do sentido objetivo em decisões e ações de alta discricionariedade sob conflito e incerteza. O objetivo é reunir argumentos na literatura e articulá-los para mostrar como essa fixação acontece. A abordagem de desenvolvimento conceitual foi uma revisão pragmática e integrava da literatura sobre tomada de decisões estratégicas. Emergem dois tipos de sentidos objetivos. O sentido objetivo geral da ação estratégica consiste na missão e objetivos sistêmicos fixados pela coalizão dominante. Sob incerteza e conflito, guiados pelo sentido objetivo geral, processos cognitivos organizacionais identificam e analisam incertezas, diagnosticam situações, selecionam oportunidades, elaboram alternativas, gerenciam conflitos e fixam o sentido objetivo específico. Tais processos são imanentes ao desenvolvimento de alternativas e à escolha dentre elas. Três conceitos – processos cognitivos organizacionais, relações sociais necessárias à organização e sentido objetivo específico – e sua articulação causal são a principal contribuição deste trabalho. O pragmatismo organizacional prevalece, assim como uma interpretação que fixa sentidos objetivos.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2022-10-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8817310.1590/1679-395120210158Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 20 No. 5 (2022); 608-623Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 20 Núm. 5 (2022); 608-623Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 20 n. 5 (2022); 608-6231679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/88173/82897https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/88173/82898Nascimento, Paulo Tromboni de Souzainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-10-31T19:11:30Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/88173Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:29.065795Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
