Bus/Financial - Marketing / Market Research / decision-making
German term or phrase: Entscheidungssubjekt
Hello again,

This is from a document about market(ing) research. The sentence reads:

Entscheidungen in Unternehmen sind gekennzeichnet durch:
• Existenz einer Wahlsituation
• Existenz eines Entscheidungssubjektes

Is this as simple as "The existence of a decision subject"? I'm afraid I don't have any examples of what the "Entscheidungssubjekt" could be, so I'm really not sure what to call it!

Thanks very much for any help!

Hilary.
