Organizational decision

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Organizational decisions are in the decision-oriented organizational theory - based on the decision theory - build decisions of a legitimate instructions instance about whether property decisions are taken by the authority itself, or whether these to other employees delegated to be. Communication decisions form a third category .

Organizational decisions are used to control the behavior of subordinate organizational members . The behavior of these potential decision-makers can be influenced in the following ways:

  • Allocation of options for disposal over production factors and resources.
  • Specification of behavioral norms that affect rights and obligations to a greater or lesser extent
  • “Complementary” measures to ensure that the norms of behavior are properly followed.

An organizational decision can also consist of a subordinate body instructing the authority to send information or the transmission of information to subordinate employees. Organizational decisions serve in particular to delegate object decision problems that have not yet been (fully) decided.

Competencies about object and organizational decisions can be distributed very differently over the individual employees. Someone who is allowed to decide who should decide a certain object decision problem may not necessarily also decide who should then implement this decision.
