 Models of Decision-Making and the Everydayness of DecisionsAnna Linda Musacchio Adorisio Chapter 8 in Storytelling in Organizations, 2009, pp 164-187 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract This chapter on decision-making reflects my initial interest on the relation between decision-making and narrating practices. As already discussed in Chapter 2 in the section on narrative and decision-making, the core of the research has changed over the years as the result of both epistemological and pragmatic considerations. At this point to come back to the theme of decision-making is more for the respect of the initial commitment that a necessity; however some of the interviews of Chapter 5 can be read in the light of that interest, rather than making any conclusion on the subject they can be seen as suggestions for further researches on the topic. In this chapter I will review models of decision-making as scholars belonging to very different realms have theorized them. A discourse on storytelling might seem out of place in this context, however what I would like to show is that storytelling can be a complement if not an alternative to such paradigm. Storytelling represents a way of engaging in research but also, in my view, can lead to new models of theory of action; a shift from the cognitive understanding to a more “corporeal” understanding of such phenomena.
