I'm going to talk to you about the types of information and organizational decisions that follow the standard hierarchy that exists in most companies, which is called the organizational pyramid, in which the levels are known as strategic, tactical (managerial) and operational, I'll explain to you below the three parts of the pyramid and what their functions are.

Strategic decisions are related to long-term goals, with ways and actions that affect the entire company and at all levels.

Tactical decisions relate to shorter-term goals and to ways and actions that generally affect only part of the business.

Operational decisions are related to the company's operational routines and affect only the sectorial units.
