| Tiivistelmä: | The purpose is to study the politics of strategic decision making. The research setting is the high-velocity environment of the microcomputer industry. It is found that politics arise from power centralization. Politics are the observable, but often covert, actions by which executives enhance their power to influence a decision. Domination by chief executive officers lead to politics. It is also found that politics are not fluid. Rather, they become entrenched into stable patterns that are often based on characteristics such as age and office location. Finally, politics within top management teams, because they restrict information flow and are time-consuming, are associated with poor firm performance. |
