这项研究探讨了微型企业的战略决策(SDM)，这是一个具有重要经济意义的商业部门。由于现有的大公司和小公司文献目前对超小型企业的SDM提供了不完整的描述，因此使用多案例方法来调查这些公司如何做出战略决策。11家澳大利亚信息技术服务微型公司参与了这项研究。本研究利用信息处理的视角，揭示了微型企业SDM的模式，并推导出微型企业SDM的理论模型。本研究还提出了对微型企业管理的几点启示和未来研究的方向，有助于从理论和实践上理解微型企业SDM。
This study explores strategic decision-making (SDM) in micro-firms, an economically significant business subsector. As extant large- and small-firm literature currently proffers an incomplete characterization of SDM in very small enterprises, a multiple-case methodology was used to investigate how these firms make strategic decisions. Eleven Australian Information Technology service micro-firms participated in the study. Using an information-processing lens, the study uncovered patterns of SDM in micro-firms and derived a theoretical micro-firm SDM model. This research also identifies several implications for micro-firm management and directions for future research, contributing to the understanding of micro-firm SDM in both theory and practice.
