Building models of strategic issues with a group of the stakeholders has become an established approach to support strategic decision- making. Involving these stakeholders helps to generate relevant information regarding the issue and at the same time creates ownership of and consensus on the resulting group recommendations for dealing with the issue. In this way, group model building creates managerial commitment to implement these recommendations.
