Abstract
This study investigates executives’ perceived control over their environment. Drawing on managerial cognition and upper echelons theory, we test a model that specifies perceived control over environment as made up of organizational routines (i.e. information processing capability and decision comprehensiveness) and executive understanding of performance (i.e. organizational effectiveness and organizational slack). Findings from a scenario study of 46 executives in 14 pharmaceutical firms show perceived control over the internal environment can be explained by information processing capability, and the interactions between organizational routines and resources. Perceived control over the external task environment can be explained by information processing. This difference accounts for the extent to which executives perceive that they can control their environment, adding to the more traditional view focused on the requirements for a strategic fit to environment.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
