Executive Decision Making Under Crisis

Abstract

Today's executive manager is increasingly expected to make decisions based on paradigms that depart from traditional rationality and information processing models. This is particularly so under crisis conditions, where there is little time and information available for choice consideration. While the management literature has recently seen more empirical and theoretical support for intuition and tacit knowledge in the decision process, the role of emotion remains absent. This paper advances management decision theory by proposing a conceptual model of executive decision making that underscores the role of emotions in an intuitive decision process under crisis conditions.
