A research on the design of a facilitated group decision-making process for top management team of enterprises

Abstract

Abstract: An effective, efficient and collaborative decision-making process for top management team (TMT) is crucial for the business. Facilitated collaboration research will help solve those issues. This paper has introduced the collaboration engineering theories and methods, and has applied design science research method. This paper has designed a collaboration process for Chinese TMT team. A Chinese IT company has been selected as the subject of an experimental case study. Experiments have been conducted and interviews have been used to collect data and investigate the relationship between different influencing factors. The findings show that the designed process can help TMT members make decisions, improve productivity, build consensus and make prediction. In conclusion, the designed process helps and supports the collaboration and decision-making.

Key words: facilitation, teamwork, top management team, design science research, decision process design
