The main goal of this study is to analyze the subjects related to the different perspectives of the decision making process in the organization: top-down, bottom-up and middle-up-down, as well as the role of the middle management in that process. To reach this goal we define the
derived concepts of seminal empiric and theoretical studies, crossing different thought lines, seeking to form a conceptual theoretical mark around the integrative perspective in the strategy formation process. The applied methodology consists on a bibliographical revision of seminal articles in scientific journals and books in the administration area related
to the study topic. After the revision comes the consideration that the middle manager is like a pivot in the integrative strategy formation process, acting as integrative agent between top and bottom levels, even being able to intervene and change rigid orientation, inserting
organizational practical perspectives, and that an integrative strategy formation process is more efficient when it adopts the middle-up-down perspective of decision making process.
