▼ The current and future energy situations in Canada are put into perspective, and the importance of nuclear energy and controversies surrounding it are investigated. More specifically, to demonstrate the important role nuclear energy has to play in Canada's future, a novel energy modeling tool, Canadian Energy Systems Simulator (CanESS), is employed. CanESS is a modeling platform with a huge database that assists an analyst in defining different energy scenarios by modifying the variables such as population and contributions of different energy sources to the overall production. The CanESS results clearly show that expansion of nuclear energy production is required to meet energy demand and simultaneously reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To formally study strategic issues connected to the ongoing conflict over nuclear power production in Ontario, the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR) is utilized. This flexible systems methodology is used to study the nuclear disputes that existed in Ontario at two key points in time: the fall of 2008 and spring of 2010. The results of the 2008 analysis, especially the sensitivity analyses, show that the only decision makers (DMs) involved in the conflict who hold real power are the Federal and Ontario governments, although at the beginning of the investigation the Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. (AECL) and the environmental groups had also been considered as participating DMs. The findings and information of the analysis in 2008, as well as an updated background for 2010, are used to perform another analysis in 2010. Meanwhile, their options or possible courses of action have also been changed. Again, at this stage the stable states of the game are found, and attitude analysis is carried out to obtain deeper insights about the dispute. The equilibria or potential resolutions of the 2008 analysis are found to be the transition states in the 2010 analysis. Specifically, it is discovered that if the Federal Government does have a negative attitude towards the Ontario Government, it is possible that the final outcome is a state that is among the least preferred states for both DMs. To formally study strategic issues connected to the ongoing conflict over nuclear power production in Ontario, the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR) is utilized.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

In a departure from the bulk of studies on regulatory decision-making, this study is an exploration of how the premise of a risk-based approach is put into practice through strategic decision-making processes. Current contemporary scholarship on regulatory decision-making explores enforcement of statutory requirements, such as activities of frontline or street level public servants (May & Wood, 2003) or impacts or outcomes of interventions with regulated entities (Gunningham, 1987; Parker, 2006). In contrast to these studies, this research considers the internal arrangements of regulatory agencies, that is, what actually occurs, and how, in strategic decision-making processes from interpretation of risk-based policy through to translation into strategies and actions. For many risk-based regulatory agencies, decision-making processes shape compliance outcomes such as the elimination or mitigation of public risk. Decisions made by these regulatory agencies thus have implications for individuals and entities affected by those decisions, as well as for the agency itself. In Australia, the work health and safety regulatory landscape has evolved since the 1980s from a prescriptive, or rule-based approach, to a more responsive risk-based regulatory framework. This framework encompasses principles of transparency, accountability and a focus on risk as a basis for compliance and enforcement interventions and actions. More recently, in a context of overlapping responsibilities and variations in enforcement and compliance practices, work health and safety regulators across Australia have attempted to harmonise the relevant legislation and in the process, reduce the regulatory burden on affected entities. This thesis examines the development and implementation of strategic decisions in four regulatory agencies in work health and safety jurisdictions in Australia. It presents an interpretive study of processes of decision-making in those regulatory agencies, and identifies ways in which decision-makers interpret harmonised policy and translate it into strategies and actions. Data were collected, compared and contrasted at jurisdictional, management and operational levels. The collection of data was undertaken at multiple sites over two discrete timeframes and obtained from a range of sources, including face-to-face and telephone interviews, questionnaires and analysis of documents. The findings conclude that the application of harmonised risk-based policy across the four regulatory agencies provides a uniform basis for regulatory decision-making that is predicated on risks and based on the use of evidence. Notwithstanding this uniformity, as decisions are made by top and middle managers, trade-offs are extracted in the decision-making process. This thesis finds that these trade-offs are in response to a range of factors. These factors include tensions between harmonised risk-based regulatory strategy and the application of problem-solving methods; the influence of stakeholders in…

▼ The study aimed to determine the factors influencing strategic decision making process in the Ministry of Roads (HQs). In search of answers to the stated problem, existing secondary data was gathered through literature review. This was to establish what existing literature has in regard to strategic decision making process and factors that influence it. The study also sought to find out the existing gap that the researcher focused on filling. The study established that previous studies found out that a wide range of factors influence strategic decision making process and they vary from organization to organization. The most common across firms included external environment, organizational structure, corporate culture, policies, resources, personality and attitude of decision makers, top management support and vested interests. A case study was used as a methodology research design. This was due to the nature of the study which needed in-depth interrogation in order to examine data within the context of its use. Secondary data was gathered through review of key documents in the Ministry of Roads (HQs) such as relevant reports, circulars, policies and strategic plans. An interview guide was developed to collect primary data. In-depth face to face interviews were conducted to senior officers mainly heads of departments (HOD) in the Ministry of Roads (HQs). These are officers involved in making strategic decisions in the organization. Content analysis was used to analyze data through both conceptual and relational techniques. Themes were implicitly explored while limiting subjectivity using contextual translating rules. The study established that a predetermined strategic decision making process exists in the Ministry of Roads. It is directed by laid down rules and regulations and the hierarchical organizational structure. Though the process is effective in addressing recurring issues, it is challenged when it comes to unstructured issues. It came out clearly that there are various factors that influence the process among them being organizational structure, resources, policies, professional expertise, political interference, vested interests and organizational culture. Several challenges are faced in the process of making strategic decisions. They include insufficient funds, interdependency between government bodies, succession gaps, leadership styles and lack of participatory decision making processes. The study concluded that though the existing strategic decision making process in the Ministry of Roads achieves some results, there is a lot to be improved on in order to make it more effective in terms of quality, timeliness, and sustainability.

▼ Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) has a prominent position in the ongoing search for instruments that can help governments and other organizations to pursue the goal of sustainability. SEA is presented here as a decision-making supportive approach that is meant to improve strategic initiatives, rather than just analysing them. As an approach to planning (as opposed to a mechanical technical instrument that is done on the side and ‘might’ inform the big decisions), SEA has been promoted as a promising instrument expected to be able to provide better informed, more credible and more broadly beneficial strategic initiatives, as well as more timely and clearer guidance for subsequent undertakings. As such, by adjusting and improving planning, governance, and decision-making processes, SEA has a major role in contributing to sustainability. One of the many different planning and decision-making contexts in which SEA can be used is growth-related planning – the object of interest of this research. Planning in a growth context is typically driven by a mix of biophysical, social and economic concerns, and is unavoidably complex, with many independent agents interacting with each other in many ways, all of this involving the full range of intersecting sustainability issues. In this research I explore the concept of sustainability as an overall planning goal, as it relates to a particular approach to planning, i.e., strategic environmental assessment. In addition, this research acknowledges the importance and need to address the context in which SEA applications occur, and therefore, it highlights the need to specify the application for particular areas. This research was guided by an interest in improving understanding of how SEA can help to contribute to sustainability through planning/EA processes and activities, especially in the context of growth-related planning. Above all, this research addressed how SEA best practices can be used to improve regional planning and decision making, including its link to the project level, and how regional planning experience can help illuminate possible means of strengthening SEA practice. As such, this research presents how a sustainability-based SEA approach could contribute to growth-related planning in a rapid growth setting, using York Region, Ontario as the empirical case study. While York Region was not using the SEA nametag, some essential characteristics of SEA were found in a few planning initiatives, in accordance with what some scholars have called a SEA-type approach, i.e., an approach that does not meet formal specifications or definitions of SEA, but which has some of the SEA characteristics or components. This research presents three main scholarly contributions. First, it develops a SEA best practice framework based on the international literature and, as a result, it provides SEA practitioners with a useful generic framework that they can use as guidance and a starting point for SEA studies. In addition, this research brings to light the importance of paying…

▼ Developing effective strategic thinkers in an organization requires a dedication to early identification, selection, development, and practice, along with the conceptual understanding and measurement tools to make it happen. In support of this, the current research focused on three objectives: 1) establishing theoretical support across multiple disciplines for the concept of a strategic thinking mindset, 2) developing the Strategic Thinking Mindset Test (STMT) using situational judgment test methodology for the U.S. Army, and 3) evaluating the results of a pilot test of the STMT for reliability and construct validity. The STMT focuses on three characteristics of a strategic mindset: Flexibility, Humility, and Inclusiveness. These characteristics were derived from themes found common to strategic thinking literature across the disciplines of psychology, management, and military science. In all stages of this research, officers and non-commissioned officers of the U.S. Army served as participants. The first three stages involve the development and keying of content for the STMT. A sample of 125 participants provided scenarios in Stage 1. In Stage 2, 75 participants gave feedback on the scenarios and provided realistic response options. In Stage 3, 224 participants rated the response options according to expression of the characteristic and effectiveness. In Stage 4, the pilot version of the STMT was administered to 229 participants, along with several other measures used to establish construct validity evidence. The results of the pilot test revealed that, although there is some evidence supporting the construct validity of the STMT as a three-factor test of flexibility, humility, and inclusiveness, the overall profile of evidence suggests that the construct(s) being measured are unclear. Low inter-item correlations contribute to a low internal consistency in the measure, which further limits the STMT’s use as a predictor. The pilot test revealed interesting results related to cognitive ability, specifically a negative relationship between the mindset and cognitive ability under best/worst response instructions, rather than a positive relationship or no relationship, as was the case under most/least likely response instructions. Future research recommendations are discussed in the areas of SJT development, scoring, format, and the further refinement and measurement of the strategic thinking mindset.

▼ The strategic decision making process (SDMP) is a major issue in organisations. It is part of the larger topic of strategic management and related to strategic planning. Achievement of strategic objectives outlined in the strategic plan of an organisation depends on the decisions taken through the process. Yet the literature shows that the concept of SDMP is not well understood and organisations find it difficult to develop and implement an SDMP, particularly Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The literature indicates that decisions are taken in organizations in different ways for example using intuition, data, collaboration and ad-hoc considerations. In addition contextual factors are argued to affect the SDMP although very little research has been conducted to explain how contextual factors affect SDMP they do in HEIs. Some examples of contextual factors namely decision process characteristics have been identified and discussed as part of the SDMP literature in industry. However, lack of knowledge about SDMP and how contextual factors influence SDMP is regarded as to be a major obstacle for HEIs in taking decisions and choosing the best alternative amongst available decisions. This research seeks to contribute to address this important issue. Whilst there are many strategic decision characteristics (contextual factors) identified in the literature, this research focuses on decision importance. The rationale for choosing decision importance was that there is always some concern in the minds of the decision makers in the HEIs on what constitutes an important decision. What is considered as important decision while the decision is being taken may prove to be less important after implementation if there is no clear understanding of how to assign importance to a decision. Even in the industrial sector, Elbanna and Child (2007) it has been argued that decision importance has not been studied well. Relying upon the theoretical model developed by Elbanna and Child and other arguments found in the literatue, this research argued that the SDMP is a combination of relationships between decision characteristics, SDMP characteristics and decision outcomes that are influenced by environmental factors. As far as environmental factors were concerned environmental uncertainty was chosen as an external environment factor while organisational performance was chosen as the internal contextual factor. These two factors were argued to moderate the relationship between SDMP characteristics and SDMP outcomes and theoretical support for this conceptualisation was taken from the model developed by Elbanna and Child. A research model was developed to address the research questions, and the aim of the study was “to examine the different decision specific characteristic, SDMP characteristic and SDMP process outcome variables and develop a relationship amongst them in the context of HEIs in a changing environment”. The research was conducted in the United States of America and data was gathered from faculty members involved in decision…

▼ Data quality is an important aspect of an organisation’s strategies for supporting decision makers in reaching the best decisions possible and consequently attaining the organisation’s objectives. In the case of public organisations, decisions ultimately concern the public and hence further diligence is required to make sure that these decisions do, for instance, preserve economic resources, maintain public health, and provide national security. The decision making process requires a wealth of information in order to achieve efficient results. Public organisations typically acquire great amounts of data generated by public services. However, the vast amount of data stored in public organisations’ databases may be one of the main reasons for inefficient decisions made by public organisations. Processing vast amounts of data and extracting accurate information are not easy tasks. Although technology helps in this respect, for example, the use of decision support systems, it is not sufficient for improving decisions to a significant level of assurance. The research proposed using data mining to improve results obtained by decision support systems. However, more considerations are needed than the mere technological aspects. The research argues that a complete data quality framework is needed in order to improve data quality and consequently the decision making process in public organisations. A series of surveys conducted in seven public organisations in Abu Dhabi Emirate of the United Arab Emirates contributed to the design of a data quality framework. The framework comprises elements found necessary to attain the quality of data reaching decision makers. The framework comprises seven elements ranging from technical to human-based found important to attain data quality in public organisations taking Abu Dhabi public organisations as the case. The interaction and integration of these elements contributes to the quality of data reaching decision makers and hence to the efficiency of decisions made by public organisations. The framework suggests that public organisations may need to adopt a methodological basis to support the decision making process. This includes more training courses and supportive bodies of the organisational units, such as decision support centres, information security and strategic management. The framework also underscores the importance of acknowledging human and cultural factors involved in the decision making process. Such factors have implications for how training and raising awareness are implemented to lead to effective methods of system development.

▼ Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is an essential component of an organisation’s strategic procedures which requires considering several factors to envisage a range of long-term outcomes that support strategic project portfolio decisions. The success of PPM is closely associated with the degree of understanding of its issues and the quality of decisions made at the portfolio level as poor judgement reduces efficiency and increases portfolio costs. Although several Multi-criteria Decision-making (MCDM) methods have been introduced in support of PPM decision-making functions, there has been little assessment of their performances, particularly regarding which one works best for PPM.This study identifies the key PPM challenges, proposes a new framework for classifying PPM MCDM-related methods and undertakes a literature review of the application of MCDM approaches to PPM. Of over 100 methods identified in over 1400 publications, eight (AHP, ANP, DEA, DSRA, ELECTRE, PROMETHEE, TOPSIS and VIKOR) that best suit PPM are selected and compared. Although two standard methods (AHP and DEA) are shown to be the most appropriate for application to PPM, each has its own shortcomings.To overcome the challenges, this study proposes a novel method for portfolio selection/decision making that combines the Portfolio Theory (PT), AHP and a DEA cross-efficiency technique and considers the profit, risks and proficiency of the portfolio. It is demonstrated that this method can be useful for selecting a portfolio with positive and negative data and, subsequently, measuring efficiency using the AHP. To test the applicability of the proposed model, it is used to determine the efficiency levels of ten of the largest companies in Australia in 2014 and 2015, with two criteria, namely, the expected return and variance, used to identify the preference status of each company. A consistency test conducted to assess the objectivity of the results indicates that this application of the proposed model, which simultaneously analyses profits, risks and proficiency, is feasible and adoptable for a contemporary industrial scenario. Furthermore, an executive management system is proposed as an alternative decision support tool for decision makers.

Magistro darbe suformuluoti strateginio mąstymo išraiškos būdai strateginių sprendimų priėmimo procese, išanalizuoti ir susisteminti įvairių autorių teoriniai ir praktiniai strateginio mąstymo, strateginių sprendimų priėmimo modeliai. Mokslinės literatūros analizė parodė, kad vienas iš strateginio mąstymo išreiškimo būdų strateginių sprendimų priėmimo procese teorinės koncepcijos pagrindu galėtų būti intuityvus sprendimų priėmimo modelis didelio neapibrėžtumo aplinkoje, atsižvelgiant į netradicinius sprendimus, laiko ir informacijos trūkumą. Atliktas empirinis tyrimas parodė, kad strateginis mąstymas plėtojamas, priimant strateginius sprendimus didelio ir vidutinio neapibrėžtumo aplinkoje, kurioje vadovaujamasi intuicija, patirtimi. Strateginio mąstymo išraiškos būdai dažniau plėtojami pradiniuose strateginių sprendimų priėmimo etapuose, atliekant strateginę analizę ir nustatant strateginius tikslus. Sąlygiškai rečiau vadovų strateginis mąstymas plėtojamas sprendimų sukūrimo ir vertinimo stadijose.

This master‘s final formulates means of expression of strategic thinking in the strategic decision-making process, it analyzes and systemizes theoretical and practical research about strategic thinking and strategic decision-making process. Analysis of science literature showed that intuitive decision-making model in the high uncertainty environment could be one of sustainable basis of theoretical conception in the strategic decision-making process. The model takes account of non-traditional decision, the time and lack of information. Empirical research showed that strategic thinking develops in the strategic decision-making process in the high and average uncertainty environment. This model takes account intuition, experience in the use of decision-making process. The means of strategic thinking develops in the early stage of the strategic decision-making process in the strategic analysis and strategic goals. Conditionally less strategic thinking develops in the stages of decision establishment and assessment.

▼ Following the passage of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) in 2002, the pressure on school administrators to collect, analyze and report educational data in meaningful ways became greater than ever before (Gerwetz, 2006). As NCLB now fades into the distance pushed aside by the law's successor, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015, state legislators and policy makers are working through new assessment and data criteria for public schools. The understandings and impact of data-driven decision making (DDDM) on local school systems remains relevant as ESSA requires states to continue disaggregating data by student sub-group and in support of student growth. School administrators are under enormous pressure to show patterns of growth for all students. DDDM has been a widely utilized technique in managing school operations, charting student growth and helping plan reform. What has evolved post-NCLB is the emergence of DDDM tools and techniques to help guide and inform initiatives designed to improve schools. This growth is supported by a publishing industry that produces "how-to" books and articles for school leaders on applying DDDM. Much of the research done on DDDM has focused largely on the technical and structural dimensions of data use with less attention paid towards administrators'' perceptions of DDDM and how school administrators are utilizing DDDM to strategically frame a culture of continuous improvement. Research has focused on systems built around compliance to mandated accountability models but often not based on the conviction of school administrators in support of a culture of continual learning and growth. Under ESSA, how will DDDM be viewed and utilized by school administrators? This qualitative research study focuses on the concept of DDDM and school administrators' perceptions of this concept in their school district. 24 school administrators from nine distinct school districts were interviewed for their reactions regarding DDDM. Is DDDM supporting student centered school improvement work based on conviction, or has the concept supported the distortion of a compliance driven educational process?

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

While multinational enterprises (MNEs) do engage in various types of strategic change, we have a poor understanding of the processes underpinning their decision-making. Using case studies of 14 China subsidiaries of MNEs, this thesis explores how MNEs make decisions about subsidiary strategic change. Headquarters and subsidiaries relied on decision-making routines to identify problems and opportunities and to develop, review and sign-off on subsidiary strategic changes. These routines included processes to extract information from the internal and external environment such as scanning, along with processes to share knowledge within and between headquarters and subsidiaries such as regular strategic and operational meetings. For headquarter initiated strategic change ideas, headquarters executives usually drew on formal overseas information, such as consulting firm and industry reports. Neglecting informal China information, they proposed strategic changes ill-suited to their Chinese subsidiary. Further, headquarters struggled to absorb subsidiary input during idea development and review processes. These headquarter failures were explained by their executives’ lack of in-country China work experience. They were, however, more willing to incorporate this subsidiary knowledge when the subsidiary was a larger contributor for the MNE. For subsidiary initiated strategic changes, subsidiary executives relied on informal China information when scanning and their previous China experiences to develop strategic change ideas. Longer-serving subsidiary CEOs who had more diverse functional knowledge, generated better change proposals during routine group subsidiary idea development and review processes. These subsidiary organizational routines were, however, avoided when the subsidiary CEO believed that the change idea would have negative implications for some MNE executives. For these cases, the subsidiary CEO developed a strategic change idea by him/herself. HQ accepted subsidiary input into headquarter initiated change ideas and endorsed subsidiary change proposals when relevant subsidiary executives had credibility with headquarters and had invested in learning how their parents made strategy. Credibility depended on their individual track record with the parent at the subsidiary. Rather than obstacles to change, local government officials played an important role as a knowledge contributor to the decision-making process.

▼ Business controlling’s changing role towards a business partner has been receiving much attention in academic literature and organisations for many years. It is expected that by becoming more business-oriented business controlling is able to deliver more value to organisations and have greater contribution to achieving organisational goals. However, as this role change is a complex and highly contextual process, it seems that in many organisations business controlling is unable to succeed in achieving the desired level of business partnering. Further research is required regarding this increasingly business-oriented role of business controlling to enhance the understanding on how it can be successfully pursued in organisations. This master’s thesis studies the maturity of business controlling in a global technology company. The objective of the study was to analyse how business controlling supports top management work and decision-making, how it can improve the support and how its role can be developed towards the role of a business partner. The thesis was conducted as a qualitative single case study. The empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews with the financial and business management of the case company. The findings from the current state analysis show that the role of business controlling varies significantly within the organisation. In some respect business controlling is actively involved in the business and exhibits high business orientation especially at the highest management and business unit level. Issues regarding the lack of support from business controlling are most prevalent in the lower level management and when it comes to the local business controlling functions in different areas and countries. Other issues in the case company primarily relate to the information provision aspect of business controlling and the information systems and tools. These issues were found to significantly hinder the role development of business controlling in the case company. Number of improvement areas were identified in the case company regarding people and roles, processes, information and reporting, systems and tools, and accounting and calculations. Various factors enabling and influencing the development of the business orientation of business controlling were also identified in the study as well as benefits that are expected to result from achieving the role of a business partner. Based on the results an action plan was developed for the case company for improving the support from business controlling to the business and for developing the role of business controlling towards an increasingly business-oriented role in the future.

▼ It is well known that corporate leaders, who acquire expertise by honing their intuition and expanding their knowledge through years of professional experience, are susceptible to a liability of expertise indicated by entrenched thinking and action. However, comparatively little is known about how leaders break free from this liability. This research seeks to better understand what leaders do to disrupt the liability of their expertise and enhance innovative decision making, by developing new knowledge in three areas. First, this research aims to understand the self-knowledge of entrenchment that organizational leaders experience. Second, this research discovers what organizational leaders do to break the cycle of entrenchment to innovate and lead their organizations effectively. Third, building on this discovery, I conduct an experiment with corporate leaders to examine how exposure to disruptive stimuli impacts innovative decision-making outcomes. This dissertation is a three-part research effort comprised of qualitative, quantitative and experimental studies in a corporate leadership context. Using a grounded study with data from corporate leaders in a single functional area, I identify five distinct types of entrenchment experiences that relate to different liabilities of expertise and find six broad disruption strategies that corporate leaders deliberately implement to cope with their experienced entrenchment. In a quantitative study, I develop and validate a multidimensional measure of different decision styles used by corporate leaders for strategic decisions related to new opportunities. Then, in a 3-group experimental design, I test the hypothesis that exposure to disruptive stimuli will enhance the innovative decision-making outcomes among corporate leaders. Executives are randomly divided into three groups, two of which are exposed to different disruptive stimuli, while the third group is a control condition, utilizing their own strategy. I utilized disruptive interventions delivered through a video treatment as the independent variable and innovativeness of strategic decision making as the dependent variable. These findings make a novel contribution to the study of entrenchment as a liability of expertise by uncovering disruptive stimuli that are effective in overcoming this liability and result in enhanced strategic decision making in certain task situations. Identifying high-potential innovative ideas remains one of a corporate leader’s most important strategic roles. This research uncovers new insights toward how leaders can improve their own thinking and strategic decision-making capacity Advisors/Committee Members: Singh, Jagdip (Committee Chair).

▼

This study is concerned with the antecedents of Strategic Decision Quality. By drawing on several important theories (i.e. Behavioral Theory of the Firm, Environmental Determinism, and Upper Echelon Theory) and theoretical perspectives (e.g. strategic choice perspective, firm perspective, decision specific perspective) we develop an integrative framework and examine the direct effects of multiple Strategic Decision Process characteristics (i.e. Rationality, Intuition, Political Behavior) on Strategic Decision Quality. We also test whether a broad array of important contextual factors moderate the effects of strategic decision processes on decision quality. Moderating factors include characteristics of the external (i.e. dynamism), organizational (past firm performance, firm size), managerial (tenure, need for achievement) and decision environment (i.e. decision uncertainty, threat/crisis). To test our research questions and hypotheses, we conducted a multi-method field study of 103 Strategic Decisions made by Greek Services firms employing more than 100 employees. To analyse the data we performed four different types of statistical analyses (bivariate correlations, multiple regression analysis, hierarchical moderated regression analyses and simple slope analyses). Our findings suggest that the way strategic decisions are made within an organization has a profound impact on their quality. Also, we found that all four potential sources of moderation of factors make a difference (environmental, organizational, managerial and decision specific). Specifically, dynamism, past firm performance, tenure and threat/crisis are significant moderators. These findings have significant implications for theory and practice which are discussed in the last chapter of the study. The thesis concludes with a section on limitations and suggestions for future research.

La théorie qui postule le lien entre l’information et la prise de décision a été fréquemment présentée dans la littérature académique comme étant un élément essentiel du fonctionnement et de la performance de l’entreprise.Cette théorie est parfois contredite par la pratique.Cela questionne le postulat selon lequel la veille stratégique est utile à la décision stratégique, dans les groupes industriels notamment.Notre recherche a pour objet de comprendre comment ceux qui produisent de la veille et ceux qui l’exploitent interagissent et quels sont les éléments qui améliorent ou empêchent chez les dirigeants, la prise de décision. Elle repose principalement sur une étude de cas dans un groupe industriel du secteur de la santé.Les principaux résultats de ce travail montrent que les veilleurs ont une influence marginale sur la prise de décision stratégique. Ils montrent également un décalage entre les objectifs poursuivis par le dirigeant et les informations qu’il reçoit des veilleurs.Le dirigeant prend la décision stratégique tout en subissant l’influence d’autres déterminants qui limitent son utilisation de l’information reçue. Ces déterminants sont la place du veilleur stratégique dans la hiérarchie et dans le processus de création de sens ; les caractéristiques de l’information et l’organisation du circuit de l’information ; ceux qui informent le dirigeant, les informations recherchées par le dirigeant et le degré d’acceptation par ce dernier du signal faible.Notre travail propose enfin des axes d’amélioration possibles à mettre en œuvre en entreprise.

The theory that postulates the link between information and decision-making has been frequently presented in the academic literature as an essential element of the functioning and performance of the enterprise.This theory is sometimes contradicted by the practice.This questions the assumption that strategic intelligence is useful for the strategic decision-making, especially in industrial groups.Our research aims to understand how those who produce the watch and those who exploit it interact and what are the elements that improve or prevent the decision-makers. It is based primarily on a case study in an industry group in the health sector.The main results of this work show that watchmen have a marginal influence on strategic decision-making. They also show a gap between the objectives pursued by the leader and the information he receives from the watchers.The leader makes the strategic decision while being influenced by other determinants that limit his or her use of the information received. These determinants are the place of the strategic veil in the hierarchy and in the process of creation of meaning; the characteristics of information and the organization of the information circuit; those who inform the leader, the information sought by the leader and the degree of acceptance by the latter of the weak signal.Finally, our work proposes possible areas for improvement to be implemented in companies.

▼ The research presented was initiated to understand the gaps in strategic planning decision making on transport infrastructure which affect the resilience of communities during a disaster. A comprehensive literature review not only captured the outcomes of published work on this topic but also the government publications and other documents which capture the planning processes as well as transport corridor planning and traffic management. A critical analysis of literature identified major gaps in the planning process reported by researchers as well as practitioners. The list of gaps were categorized in to four key areas as land use planning, transport corridor planning, road design and other areas. Out of these land use planning and transport corridor planning were identified as major areas and were focused on for further analysis. Analysis of the gaps in decision making associated with land use planning and development was conducted through a detailed analysis of two case studies and a questionnaire to capture expert opinion of local government officials operating in disaster-prone areas. Outcome of these was identification of two major areas where erroneous decisions are made as land use rezoning approvals and land use approvals in high-risk areas. The list of gaps were validated using triangulation of data from the four case studies (two from literature and two sourced from Victorian local government sources) and the expert opinion. Analysis of the transport corridor planning and traffic management was conducted by the analysis of a case study area in Geelong city council using intersection analysis, traffic flow analysis using SIDRA software under normal operating conditions and also emergency evacuation conditions. Outcome of this study was consolidation of gaps in transport corridor planning which affect the disaster resilience of communities. After consolidating the gaps in decision-making practices in the two selected areas of governance, possible decision-making frameworks were analysed to understand prioritisation of the gaps. It was observed that due to the complexity of the information required, a three tiered approach is the best where you can use a qualitative risk ranking approach, a quantitative risk ranking method or expert opinion to prioritise the gaps identified for action. The list of validated gaps identified in this research will provide the gap between ideal case and existing case and will be a starting point to identify actions required to enhance disaster resilience of communities through enhanced transport planning.
