Politics in Organisations: An Essential Consideration for Decision Making

Abstract

Decision making is considered an important topic in management studies. However it is postulated that current thinking in decision making is out of date and inapplicable in today's organisations. Hence, a more realistic approach needs to be considered. A political framework is offered as the alternative mechanism for understanding decision making processes in organisations.
