Abstract
Purpose
The paper ' s aim is to report a research study on the mediator and outcome variable sets in scenario planning.
Design/methodology/approach
This is a cannonical correlation analysis (CCA)
Findings
Twso sets of variables; one as a predictor set that explained a significant amount of variability in the second, or outcome set of variables were found.
Research limitations/implications
The study did not involve random selection or assignment and used perception-based measures.
Practical implications
The findings support scenario planning as a tool to reinforce certain decision styles and learning organization culture.
Originality/value
A critical contribution to scenario planning research, this study brings some order to the variety of variables espoused to be involved in scenario work. Clear outcomes are a learning culture and intuitive/dependent decision styles. The study makes a real contribution to quantitative scenario studies.
