Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate factors influencing the individual decision

Methodology: The research approach of this study is qualitative and of exploratory nature. A
literature review was conducted. Secondly, empirical data was collected via semi-structured
interviews. The empirical data was then put in relation to the theory in order to answer the
research question.
Theoretical perspectives: The theoretical perspective of the study is based on existing literature
within the field of SIDM. The literature review is focused on the characteristics of SIDM, the
process of SIDM, managerial judgment and economic rationality and factors of SIDM.
Empirical Foundation: The empirical data of the study was gathered through semi-structured
interviews with nine professionals within the field of SID.
Conclusions: The decision maker tends to be more influenced by managerial judgment and
previous experience, but there is a clear need for economic calculations in the early stages of the
process. The decision maker is influenced by several contextual factors, both the ones they can
control and those outside their power. (Less)
