Executive Decision Making in Organizations

Excerpt from Executive Decision Making in Organizations: Identifying the Key Men and Managing the Process Executive decision making in organizations-the making of decisions which have consequences for subsequent organizational activities-is seldom done by individual members of the organization acting alone. People work together in project teams or task forces, coordinate their efforts with broader purposes of the organization, and exchange stimulation and support with their colleagues. Despite the obvious importance of such interactions between people in organizations in making executive decisions, they have received Surprisingly little direct study. Many authors refer to the existence of the informal organization and stress its importance, but aside from some interesting case studies, they offer little in the way of systematic statements as to how it works.
