Problems and Perspectives in Management, Volume 7, Issue 4, Pages 92-99, 2009Sammendrag
It is argued that the design of decisions is a process that in many ways is shaped by social factors such as identities,
values, and influences. To be able to understand how these factors impact organizational decisions, the focus must be
set on the management level. It is the management that shoulders the chief responsibility for designing collective
actions, such as decisions. Our propositions indicate that the following measures must be taken in order to improve the
quality of organizational decisions: 1. The identity of the people, involved in organizational decision making, affects
the quality of decisions and should be taken into account in the design of decisions. 2. The decision maker or designer
of decisions should engage the members of an organization to create a shared vision. 3. Getting the members of an
organization to express and share common values should improve the decision making process. 4. Being able to
socially influence the members of an organization, or other stakeholders involved, as well as letting them participate in
the process, should improve the quality of decisions.
