| Abstract: | Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual framework for merging the strategic management process, the managerial decision-making process and the six-sigma process into a single, unified decision model. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology involves each of the three decision-making processes, noting their similarities and differences, and arguing from the similarities that a single unified model will result in superior decisions. Findings – The findings were that a single, unified model is possible and the resulting model is presented in the paper. Research limitations/implications – Since this research results in a conceptual model only, it remains to be tested in actual practice. This testing is intended for a later paper. Practical implications – If the testing of the model in practice results in superior decisions, the practical implications of the paper would be use of the Friday-Stroud/Sutterfield model in practice for better management decisions. Originality/value – The paper presents an original model, which results from merging the three-decision-making process. |
