A influência da cultura organizacional no processo de tomada de decisão estratégicao caso da Marinha do Brasil

Resumo

Purpose – The purpose of the research is to analyze how the influence of organizational culture in the decision-making process is perceived by the upper echelon of a military organization. Design/methodology/approach – The research adopted the qualitative approach with an 
 explanatory single case study methodology. For that, semi-structured interviews were carried out with Admirals. The study was also guided by the analysis of a doctrinal document of the Brazilian Navy and by direct observation. Seven hypotheses were raised and tested. Findings – The proposed case study revealed that the influence of organizational culture on the decision-making process is perceived by the upper echelon of the organization. This perception was evident in the three areas of information use: sensemaking, knowledge creation and decision making. In addition, evidence was found that the organizational culture of the Brazilian Navy is similar to the organizational culture found in other navies. 
 Research limitations – The main limitations of the research are related to the difficulty of accessing the interviewees. In addition, the decisions addressed were those of an administrative managerial nature and, in the event of a doctrinal change, the findings of this research may be 
 limited in time. As a methodological limitation, as it is a single case study, the results cannot be generalized.
 Practical implications – The study highlights the use of the analytical framework of the knowing organization as a way to understand the entire decision-making process.
 Social implications – The upper echelon of an organization must pay attention to the organizational culture, since its influence is verified throughout the decision-making process. A strong organizational culture contributes to the achievement of competitive advantage. Originality – It presents characteristics of organizational culture in the Brazilian Navy, a subject that has been insufficiently studied in the literature
