THE INFLUENCE OF CULTURE ON DECISION MAKING
THE INFLUENCE OF CULTURE ON DECISION MAKING

Summary/Abstract: The organizational culture influences the decisional process significantly, acting in an insidious way, both upon the decisional environment, in its heterogeneous structure, and upon the deciders. We will proceed in making an analysis of these influences, using in this way a construction, which is developed depending on the dimensions of the cultures identified by G. Hofstede – the distance towards power, individualism/collectivism, masculinity/feminity, the uncertainty avoidance and long term vs. short term approach – and the steps of the decisional process (in the simplified normative vision) – perception of the problem, generating, selecting and implementation of the chosen alternative.
