Abstract: Practicing strategic decision-making as a context-specific process can influence innovation capability (IC) of an organisation. This study examines the possible mediating role of strategic decision-making processes (SDMP) within the relationship between organisational structure (OS), culture (OC), and IC. The primary data was collected from the managerial and professional employees from 29 different industries. The results indicate that the selected dimensions of SDMP mediate the impact of OS and OC on IC facilitating a better understanding of the causal mechanism between them. The findings bring theoretical and practical implications for strategic decision making and innovation literature by extending the scope of research from understanding basic dimensions to designing an extended framework that connects internal resources and innovation. Accordingly, organisations need to reconsider or revise their strategies for structural and cultural changes in order to achieve an increased IC through a more effective decision-making process.
