内容説明

This study on the nature and process of decision-making in organizations has come to dominate contemporary understanding of not only this issue, but the workings of organizations generally. This book collects together for the first time over 20 of James March's key essays, including those co-authored with R M Cyert, H A Simon and others. The coverage ranges from his early work on the behavioural theory of the firm, through conflict and adaptive rules in organizations, to decision-making under ambiguity (including the famed "garbage can" model). The book includes a new introduction, summarising the development of the author's work and ideas up to the present day. "Decisions and Organizations" provides a unique record of the work of this seminal figure, and a fresh perspective on many of the key issues in the theory of organizations. Academics and students of organisation and management theory, economics, and the sociology of organisations.
