| Abstract: | Decision making as a central concept in management and organization theory has had a colourful and controversial career spanning some 50 years. During this time its image and meaning has shifted substantially to the point where its explanatory value as an established conceptual category in management and organizational analysis has been questioned. In this article, the author attempts a critical study of the concept of decision and tries to show that the various attempts to replace it by other terms overlook the ontological status of the decision making process. |
