Individual and growth environment-related antecedents were measured before the five-week intervention, adolescents' usage activity…

Strategic responses of medium sized firms: The role of TMT’s perceptions and characteristics in decision making processes

2017

This situation might be shocking but indeed, it is much more common than one might think (Bloom et al., 2012). In fact, we can easily realize this reality when reading the current business press where we will probably be confronted with several cases of failures that have been caused by any type of TMT decisions. Of course, we will also see cases of success, exemplifying managers and recipes of good practices (e.g., Eide et al., 2016; Schrage, 2013); but these will be minor. Thus, as Bloom et al. (2012) state, the group of …
