Mintzberg s Modes of
Strategic Decision Making
• Some strategic decisions are made in a flash by one person
(o\en an entrepreneur or a CEO) who has a brilliant insight and
is quickly able to convince others to adopt his or her idea.
• Other strategic decisions seem to develop out of a series of
small incremental choices that over ?me push an organiza?on
more in one direc?on than another.
