Item description from seller

This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Although decision-making is widely regarded as being based on rigour analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the decision alternatives in a specific situation, managers do not always take decisions in isolation. Rather, they are embedded in a social and organisational environment, which serves as orientation for decision-making. Being embedded in social environments, the outcomes of decisions taken in organisations are characterised by systematic similarities that can be interpreted as patterns of decisions.Based on publicly available data on the outcomes of resource allocation decisions of the two pharmaceutical and chemical companies Ciba and Sandoz, Robert Urlichs investigates more than 1,000 decisions. He analyses this data base in a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques and identifies patterns of decision outcomes. The results reveal that patterns of decision outcomes develop within and even across organisations. Organisational decision-making seems to be biased by the outcomes of prior decisions taken in the same and in other organisational units. An excursus shows that many of the identified patterns of decisions can be interpreted as realised strategies, which have emergent and deliberate elements. Therefore, the author brings life to Mintzberg's notion of realised strategy as a pattern in a stream of decisions, providing an empirical basis and analytical methodology.Deutscher Universitätsvlg, Abraham-Lincoln-Str. 46, 65189 Wiesbaden 272 pp. Englisch.…
