Abstract:
Environmental uncertainty affects organizations around the world with negative consequences if not well managed. To manage environmental uncertainty in an organization, certain strategies are necessary ab initio as part of organizational policy. This article is a narrative review. The aim is to explore the literature and bring together strategies that may be used to manage environmental uncertainty. Qualitative research method was used wherein information was synthesized using data obtained from research articles written in English and published in international peer-reviewed journals, books and other publications related to the topic. Google search engine was used. It was found that strategies to manage environmental uncertainty include establishing a culture of supportive relationships, risk management, establishing an emergency preparedness and response program, turning challenges into opportunities, retrenchment, environmental scanning, resource redeployment, flexibility and adaptation to change, strategic partnerships, capacity building, creativity and innovation, distributed work arrangements, leveraging technologies and digital transformation, investment in research and development, green human resource management, among others. It was observed that the strategies for managing environmental uncertainty are interwoven and interrelated, one leading to another. The strategy to apply in a particular situation depends on the nature of the uncertainty. This review concludes that high performance of an organization and its sustainability in the face of environmental uncertainty are dependent on the organization’s adoption of appropriate strategies.

Keywords: Environmental Uncertainty, High Performance, Managing, Strategies, Sustainability.
