Abstract

This article aims to understand the intellectual structure that connects theories and authors that research strategic decision-making on upper echelons and propose a research agenda for future research on strategic decision-making. We used a bibliometric research of articles published in international journals. A bibliometric analysis of citation and cocitation was conducted on the content studied in the articles of decision making, identifying the most referenced works and the conceptual relations between the work underlying the theme and trends. We identified three theoretical clusters on the subject: the characteristics of the Top Management Team (TMT) and how they influence decision making; how environmental factors compromise the decision making, along with the explanatory models and decision-making processes; conflict and allowed to present the current state of the subject and its gaps, and suggestions for future research.
