The Relationship between Procedural Rationality and Political Behavior in Strategic Decision Making
研究了61个战略决策案例，发现程序理性与政治行为是战略决策过程中两个独立的维度，管理者可以同时使用两种方法。
ABSTRACT Despite the central place of rationality and political behavior in the decision‐making literature, we know little about the relationship between these two dimensions. Can decisions be made using both rational and political methods, or must managers use one approach or the other? These questions were addressed in a study of 61 strategic decisions in 24 companies using a multiple‐informant, structured interview protocol. Results indicate that procedural rationality and political behavior are independent dimensions of the strategic decision‐making process. The implications of our findings for future strategic decision‐making research are discussed.
