Abstract
The analysis of major resource committing decisions is central focus in
the strategy field, but despite decades of rich conceptual and empirical
research we still seem distant from a level of understanding that can
guide corporate practices under dynamic and unpredictable conditions.
Strategic decision making is often conceived as ‘standing on the two
feet’ of deliberate or intended strategic decisions by top management
and emergent strategic decisions pursued by lower-level managers and
employees. In this view, the paper proposes that bottom-up initiatives
have a hard time surfacing in hierarchical organizations and that lowerlevel managers and employees, therefore, pursue various strategies to bypass the official strategy processes to act on emerging strategic issues and adapt to changing environmental conditions.
