The Strategic Decision Process and Organizational Structure
Abstract
Contributions from the strategic decision process literature are synthesized and integrated with literature on organizational structure. Propositions emerge that describe how the characteristics of an organization's strategic decision process are affected by its structure. Also discussed are the patterns of strategic process characteristics that are likely to be associated with different types of structures. Conclusions are reached on issues such as the accuracy of alternative models of the strategic decision process, and the appropriate unit of analysis for studying that process.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
