Research on Interorganizational Decision Making Within a British Airport

Abstract

The research investigated the complex process of decision making over time, its effectiveness, and achievement. Participation by lower employees and high status of consultative committees are characteristics of democratic effective decision making. Other major influences are Meta Power (external influences) and turbulence (uncertainty). A key finding is the existence of four fairly recognizable phases of the decision cycle. The variables under investigation in the decision making cycle show significantly different impact in the four phases.
