PERSONAL AND STRUCTURAL DETERMINANTS OF THE PACE OF STRATEGIC DECISION MAKING.
研究了CEO个人特质（认知能力、直觉使用、风险容忍度、行动倾向）和组织结构（集权化、正规化）如何影响战略决策速度，基于151家企业的数据发现集权化加速决策而正规化减慢决策。
A model of the determinants of strategic decision-making pace that incorporates the role of individual differences among executive decision makers, organizational structural characteristics, and industry effects is developed. Drawing on data from 151 firms, we found that chief executive officers' cognitive ability, use of intuition, tolerance for risk, and propensity to act associated positively with speedy decisions. Decision pace appeared to be faster in centralized organizations and slower in formalized organizations. Our results also suggest that the construct of comprehensiveness has both cognitive and organizational structural aspects, with cognitive comprehensiveness relating positively and organizational comprehensiveness, negatively, to strategic decision-making pace.
