The Impact

AbstractOn the basis of the three elements of strategy, this chapter puts forward some follow-up research questions and prospects mainly from the following aspects. The first is the study of factors that have influences on the quality of strategic decision. Factors include individual aspects of decision-maker, strategic decision-making information factors, approaches of strategic decision-making, etc. The second is about normative studies. They are about how the world ought to be or how strategy decisions ought to be in given situations. Outcomes of the studies can provide guidance to industry decision makers when facing development issues. Future research includePerhaps the impact of strategic decision-makers on the quality of strategies is far beyond our imagination.

Many management scholars believe that the process used to make strategic decisions affects the quality of those decisions. However, several authors have observed a lack of research on the strategic decision-making process. Empirical tests of factors that have been hypothesized to affect the way strategic decisions are made are notably absent (Fredrickson, 1985). This article reports the results of a study that attempts to assess the effects of decision-making circumstances, focusing mainly on the approaches applied and the managerial skills and capabilities the decision makers built on during concrete strategic decisionmaking procedures. The study was conducted in California between September 2005 and June 2006 and it was sponsored by a Fulbright research scholarship grant.

Strategic decision-making is one of the most important criteria for organizational success. Therefore, it is vital to have a well-developed decision making process in place. However, one of the greatest challenges facing organizations today is making important and timely business decisions. The focus of this study was to examine critical business intelligence input factors that influenced the decision making process. The business intelligence input factors considered were accessibility, reliability, quality of information, frequency of use, relevance, security, and quality of decisions. The results of this study show that the decision making process is very complex. Based on the analyses of the data, the findings indicate that these factors help determine reasons why managers use business intelligence technology in the decision making process. These findings will help organizations decision makers make better. This can improve the operational and strategic decision making process, thereby creating a competitive advantage for the organization.

Subject area Ethics in IT, community informatics, management. Study level/applicability Undergraduate and postgraduate information technology and citizens' rights, strategic decision making. Case overview This case spotlights Athlete Sports in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). It focuses on the malfunction of the company's equipment that is rented from ABC Sports Equipment. Athlete Sports has been in the UAE over a decade and has positioned itself fairly at the top due to its qualified coaches and quality of facilities it provides. The case highlights the company's transition from owning equipment to leasing equipment that increases profits. However, it also sheds light on ABC Sports' venture into code reusability in order to upgrade equipments faster. The case looks closely at the ultimate consequences of ABC Sports' practice and the impact it has on Athlete's Sports' clients and the subsequent decisions the managers are expected to make. Expected learning outcomes This case can be used to teach strategic decision making, and ethics in information technology. Supplementary materials A teaching note is available on request.

TOWARDS A FRAMEWORK FOR SEA FOLLOW-UP: THEORETICAL ISSUES AND LESSONS FROM POLICY EVALUATION

Theoretical Issues

Most SEA practice and research has focused on the pre-decision stages, whereas post-decision follow-up stages such as monitoring, evaluation, and management have been given far less attention. These stages, referred to as SEA follow-up, are integral to making SEA effective and learning-oriented. This paper takes the first step towards a framework for conducting SEA follow-up, by analysing the requirements for ex post activities according to the European SEA Directive (2001/42/EC), reviewing existing experiences and literature on how to perform SEA follow-up, and exploring lessons to be learnt from the adjacent fields of EIA follow-up and policy evaluation. The directive, along with most mainstream applications of SEA, is based on EIA follow-up concepts. However, SEA follow-up displays a number of critical differences, including: an enhanced risk of implementation gaps; a focus on performance rather than compliance; and less direct linkages between decisions and impacts. The paper argues that the SEA Directive is seriously constrained and that a more ambitious interpretation of SEA follow-up is necessary to enable strategic decision making and learning. Lessons from the policy/programme evaluation literature could strengthen SEA follow-up by giving it analytical rigour in relation to establishing causality and providing insights into the use and acceptance of SEA follow-up among decision makers and stakeholders. Further explorations into policy evaluation toolkits, and practical experiences in applying them, are needed to enhance the potential of SEA follow-up in supporting strategic decision making.

Practical Implications

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to enhance the knowledge of the antecedents of political behaviour. Whereas political behaviour in strategic decision-making (SDM) has received sustained interest in the literature, empirical examination of its antecedents has been meagre. Design/methodology/approach – The authors conducted a constructive replication to examine the impact of three layers of context, namely, decision, firm and environment, on political behaviour. In Study 1, Greece, we gathered data on 143 strategic decisions, while in Study 2, Egypt, we collected data on 169 strategic decisions. Findings – The evidence suggests that both decision-specific and firm factors act as antecedents to political behaviour, while environmental factors do not. Practical implications – The findings support enhanced practitioner education regarding political behaviour and provide practitioners with a place from which to start by identifying the factors which might influence the occurrence of political behaviour in SDM. Originality/value – The paper fills important gaps in the existing research on the influence of context on political behaviour and delineates interesting areas for further research.
