Decision Style in British and Swedish Organizations: A Comparative Examination of Strategic Decision Making
比较了瑞典和英国组织在战略决策中的风格差异，发现瑞典强调小群体内谈判和广泛信息搜索，导致决策时间长；英国则涉及较少坚定参与者，延迟常见但不显著延长过程。
SUMMARY In this paper results from parallel large scale studies of strategic decision making in Sweden and the United Kingdom are reported. Swedish decision makers are found to employ a decision making style which emphasizes negotiation within a restricted group. This style, which involves considerable information search, leads to very long decision times. Strategic decisions in Britain are made among groups which include fewer strongly committed participants. Delays are common and often serious, but do not lengthen the process unduly. Decision styles in both countries include contrasting tendencies which produce a dynamic tension in the decision arena.
