Perspective—Administrative Behavior: Laying the Foundations for Cyert and March
阐释了西蒙的《管理行为》如何打破二战前的学术传统，为Cyert和March的《企业行为理论》奠定基础，并指出回归被西蒙搁置的、强调习惯和情感在组织行动中作用的主题的当代潜力。
A Behavioral Theory of the Firm by Cyert and March (1963) can be interpreted as a culmination of new intellectual directions in the study of organization that began with Herbert Simon’s Administrative Behavior (1947). This essay shows how Simon broke with major pre–World War II intellectual traditions and thereby laid the groundwork on which A Behavioral Theory depends. It also suggests the contemporary potential of returning to themes that were set aside by Simon, but were key for prewar pragmatists, such as emphasizing the roles of habit and emotion in organizational action.
