Abstract: | Top management teams make strategic decisions, and the products of their decision making influence organizational performance. However, a subtle paradox is embedded in this relationship. This study focuses on conflict as the crux of this paradox and provides evidence from two different samples of conflict's consistent yet contradictory effects on decision quality, consensus, and affective acceptance. To sustain the ability to produce and implement strategic decisions, top management teams must maintain positive affective relationships among their members. |
