Antecedents and outcomes of decision speed in different environmental contexts

Acad Manage J. 1991 Jun;34(2):449-63.

Abstract

This study refined and extended some findings of previous research on decision-making speed. Decision speed was associated with simultaneous consideration of many alternatives, regardless of context. In contrast, the relationship between board experience and decision speed was context-specific. Similarly, decision speed was associated with higher performance only in high-velocity environments.
