Executives and Decisions

Chapter 43 in Handbook of Top Management Teams, 2010, pp 386-391 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The senior executive is often perceived as the final decision-maker in the firm. Studies in decision-making in organisations show that decisions are the result of many forces and influences, over which the executive does not enjoy absolute control. In consequence, the executive is not the only person with an essential role in the decisions actually made. His influence on decisions is largely indirect: it is exerted more on the decision-making process than on the content, and is more concerned with identifying the problems to be addressed than the solutions to be adopted.
