| Outline of Research at the Start |
The key research questions of this research are: (1) How does the disruptive environmental changes such as COVID-19 create different kinds of organizational attentions? and (2) Do these different types of organizational attentions manifest managerial biases and influence firms' strategic decisions under the pandemic situation? Since most of the work on behavioral strategy are based on probabilistic framework, this study aims to provide a novel framework in understanding how managerial attentions are formed and strategic choices are made under ill-defined outcome space and abrupt discontinuity.

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This research draws on the attention-based view (ABV) of strategy and behavioral strategy frameworks, focusing on two main objectives in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. First objective is to identify emerging types of organizational attention: selective focus and distribution of attention. Second is to explore the relationship between these types of attention, and their impact on decision-making. The study analyzed 57 airlines and 20 pharmaceutical companies using text analysis and financial data collection. Findings reveal that an organization's emphasis on either cost-saving or revenue-generating strategies, or its orientation towards short-term versus long-term goals, is influenced by ownership structure, past financial performance, and strategic alliances.
