Abstract

Discusses the nature of strategic decision making in organizations. Explores the process of implementation and poses questions about how to evaluate decision success. Discusses links between decisions and corporate strategies and emphasizes the importance for organizational members of being party to the more covert political activity in organizations. “Who decides corporate strategy?” – concludes that women may be excluded from this most critical of activities, by being placed too low in the hierarchy to sanction strategic decisions, and by not making use of the more subtle ways of influencing strategy.
