Abstract: A questionnaire regarding corporate decision-making (dm) practices was mailed to 500 vice-presidents of 125 large firms Response rate was 50%.

“…Studies were not included when (a) the focus was on the individual level of analysis (e.g., Stewart, 1996); (b) the personality trait was not relevant to the review (e.g., George, 1990); (c) specific personality traits were not identifiable among a larger set of personality traits in the analysis (e.g., Aamodt & Kimbrough, 1982;Stagner, 1969;Terborg, Castore, & DeNino, 1976); (d) the sample comprised a psychiatric population (e.g., Spring & Khanna, 1982); (e) group outcome was not specified (e.g., Haythorn, Altman, & Myers, 1966); or (f) insufficient data was provided for analysis.…”

“…Os estudos do tipo estado da arte permitem ao pesquisador sistematizar um determinado campo do conhecimento ou tema, reconhecer os principais resultados, identificar temáticas e abordagens dominantes/emergentes, bem como as lacunas de novas pesquisas, utilizando como base um determinado espaço de tempo (Haddad, 2000 Stagner (1969), sendo tal estudo tido como inovador nas práticas de tomada de decisão (Kellermanns, et al, 2011) Após realizada a seleção dos 40 artigos, os mesmos foram analisados sistematicamente buscando identificar o objetivo, a metodologia adotada, as conclusões e as sugestões de estudos futuros. Feita esta identificação e também com o maior entendimento a que se propunha cada um dos artigos, os autores do presente estudo puderam classificar os artigos nas duas grandes abordagens que o consenso estratégico pode ser compreendido: sendo estas o consenso como resultado do processo estratégico, ou o consenso como processo de sua construção em si (Dess & Origer, 1987).…”

“…Já o consenso como processo é caracterizado quando o consenso leva a uma outra etapa (tomada de decisão ou desenvolvimento estratégico, por exemplo). Dess (1987), destaca que os estudos anteriores relacionados ao consenso estratégico foram realizados por Laurence e Lorsch (1967), Stagner (1969), Holder (1976), Grinyer e Norburn (1977) e DeWoot, Heyvaert e Martou (1977). Nestes estudos, o objetivo consistia em investigar aspectos relacionados à performance dos gestores e da organização como um todo.…”

“…When the differential between departments is high, the more powerful departments will be able to impose their own "particularistic" (Pfeffer and Salancik, 1974) agendas on the organization. As Stagner (1969) reported, strong divisions within the company may get their way without regard to the welfare of the whole. When the power differential is small, horizontal power relationships are such that, in order to accomplish anything, departments must cooperate with each other.…”
