Sažetak
The paper explores the role of emotions in strategic decision-making by applying desk research, encompassing bibliographic search by keywords and further snowball sampling by papers’ references. The aim is to encourage further research on the topic, as knowledge about emotions in strategic decision-making in a narrow sense is limited, partial, and contradictory. We distinguish strategic decision-making in a narrow and broad sense, where the latter includes the process of strategic management. In strategic decision-making, emotions of a dominantly positive hedonistic tone indicate a favorable situation that does not need to be changed. In contrast, emotions of a dominantly negative hedonistic tone indicate the need to change the existing situation and encourage action. In this context, it is observed that the existence of negative emotions is not harmful from the perspective of strategic management. Moreover, they lead to a desirable approach to strategic decision-making and favorable outcomes (excluding the influence of anger). The narrative review results with fourteen assumptions for further research integrated into a conceptual model of the role of emotions in strategic decision-making, thus reflecting this paper’s originality and scientific contribution. The systematization of theoretical and empirical knowledge about the role of emotions in strategic decision-making contributes to the development of sustainable organizations.
