Moving forward

The purpose of this integrated discussion is to discuss the limitations of traditional strategic choice models. Description of Theories/Core Concepts The strategic choice approach is a perspective that is based on individual choice models, which focuses on various decision making strategies. Strategic choice models have two main components: choice and strategy. For choice, the models stresses discretion and that choice is influenced by context. For strategy, the model observes the liklihood of achieving a goal through series of actions or assessments. Analysis/Explanation/Discussion Within all organizations, managers are responsible for the direction of the organization and for effective decision making strategies. Managers utilize a host of techniques that will move the organization forward. However, despite the overall popularity of the technique used by management, the success rate is limited by the reliability of the information supplied.
Strategic choice model suggests that managers tend to select strategies based on a specific goal and an individual response to a specific receiver (Shelby, 1991). According to Stacey (2011), strategic choice theory refers to a choice in reality, which relates to nature and human behavior. Managers who apply a strategic choice model to their decision will attain a feasible and realistic solution. Strategic choice theory and rational choice theory are similar. Both theories focus on naturalism and positivism. However, rational choice theory is largely used for political decisions and strategic choice theory is mainly used by business managers. Overall, both theories make assumptions about the limitations in human behavior and agree that human behavior is unpredictable.
Conclusion
In my opinion, strategic choice theory does not focus on the emotional side of human behavior.
