In the context of business, the concept of ‘peripheral vision’ is usually used to refer to instances involving detecting information that may be important for the “safe and an effective navigation of the world”. In contrast, the concept of ‘tunnel vision’ is used to refer to the situation where peripheral vision is lost and only central vision is retained with potential deleterious effects on business performance and decision-making. This study investigates how unlearning activities can counteract the presence of tunnel vision, along with how these activities can, in turn, result in the improvement of peripheral vision. In this study the influence of what has been termed ‘Intentional Unlearning’ on peripheral vision as a mediating variable between focal vision and peripheral vision is investigated through an empirical study. This study used ADANCO 2.0.1 and it involved the collection and analysis of data provided by 203 bank managers. The findings complement organizational theories of management by providing a clearer definition of tunnel-vision and provide guidance for managers as to how they may improve peripheral vison. This study shows the need for knowledge workers to adopt procedures that will have the effect of causing them to question the familiar frameworks they use to interpret their perceptions of the external environment.
