| Tiivistelmä: | Thompson developed a framework to make strategic choices that indicates when to use optimizing, satisficing, instrumentality, and social tests as decision rules. These oft-cited prescriptions have not been empirically investigated. This study provides such a test by comparing the success realized when Thompson's prescriptions were or were not followed in more than 300 strategic decisions. The findings indicate that managers followed the prescriptions in 4 of 10 decisions. Failing to follow the prescriptions led managers to apply a decision rule that either developed misleading factual information or ignored available information as choices were made. Both misusing and ignoring evaluative information dramatically lowered the prospect of success. |
