Abstract. Strategic decision making is the process of selecting a logical and informed choice from the alternative options based on key strategic indicators determining the success of a specific organization strategy. To support this process and pro-vide a common underlying language, in this work, we present an empirically-grounded ontology to support different strategic decision-making processes and extend the ontology to cover the context of managing quality in Rapid Software Development projects. We illustrate the complete ontology with an example.

Co-located to the 36th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2017). I was going to the ER since 2011, but I missed the last edition (2016) and I was not going to be there this year either. But, maybe this year will be able to come back!
