It sheds light on how language influences decision views and outcomes by exploring the linguistic differences between strategic and tactical communication. The paper also discusses the impact of language on decision-making processes and suggests strategies that would help bridge any linguistic gaps between communicators. The conclusions of the research contribute to a better understanding of decision-making dynamics and provides implications for managerial practices.
