Public Companies
The business decision is only part of the decision.
A CEO can be right on the economics and still have to manage the board, investors, employees, and public reaction around it.
More people have a stake in the decision.
Decisions made inside the company can quickly become external issues.
A leadership change can become an investor issue. A strategic investment can draw scrutiny long before the returns are visible. A decision that makes sense operationally may still be difficult to explain publicly. These aren't separate issues to deal with afterward. They're part of the decision from the start.
