Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Decision‐makers in organizations use dimensions implicitly or explicitly to sort strategic issues. This article compares the dimensions implied by three literatures and dimensions generated by an empirical study.

Implications for theories of decision‐making and interpretation in organizations are discussed.
