Tactical decisions, which focus on more intermediate-term issues, are typically made by middle managers.
Levels of decision-making typically refer to the hierarchy within an organization or context where decisions are made. These levels often include strategic decisions made by top management, tactical decisions by middle management, and operational decisions by lower-level employees. Strategic decisions shape the direction and long-term goals of the organization, while tactical and operational decisions focus on implementing those strategies and managing day-to-day activities. Each level involves different scopes, timeframes, and impacts on the organization.
It should be noted that in many "flatter" organizations, where the middle management level has been eliminated, both tactical and operational decisions are made by lower-level management and/or teams of employees.
Tactical decisions support the strategic decision of the organisation. They tend to be of medium significance with moderate consequences.
The most operating decisions of management that focus on a narrow range of activity are called "tactical decisions." These decisions are typically short-term and specific, aimed at implementing strategies and achieving operational efficiency within a particular area or function of the organization. Tactical decisions support the broader strategic goals and are often made at lower levels of management.

Strategic decisions, which affect the long-term direction of the entire company, are typically made by top managers.

In organizational planning, strategic decisions are made at the top level, focusing on long-term goals and overall direction. Tactical decisions are made at the middle management level, translating strategic plans into specific actions and initiatives. Operational decisions occur at the lower management level, involving day-to-day activities and resource allocation to implement tactical plans. Each level ensures alignment with the organization's objectives, with a clear flow of information and responsibility.
