In general, effective strategic decisions are associated with a
step-by-step analysis of information. However, such recommendations are
detached from the realities decision makers are faced with, i.e
uncertainty of a decision problem, abundance of information from various
sources, as well as political behavior and personal idiosyncracies in
the decision making process. Wolfgang Gänswein examines the interaction
of these factors by using a broad sample of 230 decisions in a broad
range of industries.
