| Abstract: | Controversy surrounds the appropriateness of adopting the comprehensive decision making mode when the external environment is complex and dynamic. A study of 70 USA based international firms lends support to the use of the rational-comprehensive approach. Consistently positive relationships between analytic and integrative comprehensiveness and organizational effectiveness are reported. While strategic decision processes remain controversial, an increasing body of literature is pointing to the universality of the rational-comprehensive approach. Some topics for future research are suggested. Implications to management of international firms are summarized. |
