| Abstract: | The influence of a manager's decision style in strategic decision-making is explored using simulations. The Jungian style classification is extended to identify "data and process dominant" styles of decision-making. Managers with process dominant styles can use several types of data and managers with data dominant styles can apply various modes of data processing. Both the expanded and the traditional definitions of style are used as factors to explain how top executives and middle managers rated project simulations. Decision style is a key factor in explaining the likelihood of taking strategic action and the risk seen in this action. |
