The Political Model of Decision Making

Paper Summary:

This paper examines how, when the political decision making model is applied to a problem, an organization can conclude that the chosen decision will be able to work in practice. The writer explains how applying the decision model allows an organization to assess the impact of the change on employees and develop a plan for implementation that takes into account the needs of employees. Overall, the political decision making model allows a decision to be made that will be effective in practice, not just in theory.

From the Paper:

"The political decision-making model looks at all forces that may impact a change that is made. This is described as "recognizing the role of stakeholders in affecting and shaping matters of significance to the organization" (Fulop & Linstead, 1999, p. 316). In addition, the model is described as being based on "reconciling the interests of different stakeholders" while recognizing the organization as "a system adapting and learning to cope with a variety of internal and external constraints" (Fulop & Linstead, 1999, p. 316). This model can be applied to the situation where the company needs to increase production and is deciding how to achieve this."
