Abstract

This study explores the relationship between entrepreneurial competencies, strategic thinking, and antecedents, including intent focus, system thinking, and intelligent opportunity. We conducted focus group interviews with ten academic librarians from Malaysian public universities and discovered nine (9) novel antecedents associated with strategic thinking competencies. These findings contribute significantly to our understanding of effective strategic thinking in diverse organizational contexts, informing future strategies and human resource development efforts. The implications are particularly relevant for library leaders and policy-makers, who can use these insights to enhance the capabilities and performance of academic librarians, improving support for higher education institutions.
