Levels of
decision-making are normative,
strategical, tactical, and operational. This follows a traditional differentiation in military (definitions by Carl v. Clausewitz 1780-1831), but today it has been taken over by management schools for civil purposes as well.
On each level
different types of decisions must be made. The levels are corresponding with each other and are
organized in a hierarchical order. Persons on the next lower level need to be
informed about the decisions that are made on the next higher level in order to
do their jobs in a convenient way.
