Abstract
Literature on decision-making structures does include a stakeholder perspective focusing on who are relevant stakeholders and what they want (e. g. Cyert & Williams 1993; Wong 2011). However, extant research on decision-making structures has mainly neglected the third major question that stakeholder theory tries to answer, namely "what are the stakeholders´ means?" (Frooman 1999).On the other hand, literature on how stakeholders want to achieve their goals is mostly concerned with external stakeholders and does not consider decisions or, more specifically, technology decisions. Generally, there is not much literature which looks at the consequences of stakeholder influence strategies on interpersonal trusts. Research on antecedents of coercive and indirect stakeholder influence strategies is also limited (Frooman 1999) and has put little attention on decision-making structures as these antecedents. Thus, our work aims at addressing several gaps in extant research on stakeholder management and decision making structures as well.
