Contextual Factors in the Selection of Strategic Decision Methods
研究了组织环境、问题性质和领导风格如何影响高层管理者选择战略决策方法，发现前两个因素能显著预测决策方法，而领导风格影响不大。
The approach followed by top managers when dealing with strategic decisions is shown to be related to contextual conditions. Three areas of potential influence on the determination of the decision method are studied: (1) the organizational environment; (2) the nature of the specific problem; and (3) the leadership style. Knowledge about the first two areas allows a significant improvement in the ability to predict the use of a decision approach, while the dimensions chosen to represent leadership style do not seem to have an important influence on the selection of a method.
