The significance of decision-making has been repeatedly highlighted by works in the fields of strategy, organization and innovation management. Also, the question of how decision-making is organized in firms has been addressed by a vast stream of research. However, these works have mainly neglected the influence of stakeholder behavior on decision-making so far. Thus, our paper addresses the intersection of decision-making, organizational structures and stakeholder management. By doing so, we show how firms can shape organizational structures of decisions in order to ensure stakeholder behavior that is beneficial for the long-term innovativeness of a firm.
