Abstract

King talks about Generating Opportunity from uncertainty. While the world displays growing strategic uncertainty, a potential disconnect has developed between military and business leaders on the treatment of uncertainty. Better decisions are likely to be made under conditions where an organization can tolerate and manage greater amounts of uncertainty. As a result, the impact of uncertainty on organizations is more complex than has generally been recognized.
