The role of organisational events and emotions in strategic decision-making

澳大利亚的国际竞争力在很大程度上取决于其商业组织的有效性。这种有效性反过来又取决于最高管理者决策的质量。因此，如果我们要制定计划来提高澳大利亚商业组织的竞争力，了解管理者做出决策的方式是至关重要的。参与这项拨款申请的澳大利亚研究人员一直走在将情绪研究纳入组织研究的国际运动的前沿。在一系列四个项目中，他们与一位专门研究组织公正的美国著名学者合作，研究高层管理人员的决策模式。

Australia's international competitiveness depends to a large extent on the effectiveness of its business organisations. This effectiveness depends, in turn, on the quality of top managers' decision-making. Thus, understanding the way that managers make decisions is of critical importance if we are to develop programs to improve the competitiveness of Australian business organisations. The Australian researchers involved in this grant application have been at the forefront of the international movement to include the study of emotions in organisational research. In a series of four projects, they combine with a noted US scholar, who specialises in the study of organisational justice, to study the decision-making patterns of top managers.
