In Search of Clarity: Unravelling the Complexities of Executive Decision-making
Overview
Decision-making is at the core of all business activity, as executives set strategy and manage operations by weighing a vast array of factors to arrive at the desired balance of risk and reward. The enormous growth of companies size and operations in recent years--particularly across borders--is making this process increasingly complex.

Read this report from The Economist Intelligence Unit, sponsored by SAP/Business Objects, to see the results of a decision-making survey it conducted with over 150 executives from around the world.
