coordination and control of decision activities
Strategic decision process characteristics

system

issues
● Role of goals: Ind. vs. org.-level? Remedial or future-oriented? Precise vs. general?
○ Centralization: Decisions are oriented towards “intended future domains” of dominant
few
○ Formalization: Precise rather than general; remedial rather than positive, future
intended
