The New Behaviorism: A Critique of Economics and Organization
批判新制度经济学在组织分析中的五个不足,包括交易成本、有限理性、权力关系、规范价值及历史背景的简化处理,并提出基于利益相互依赖的替代分析框架。
This paper examines the "new institutional economics" approach to organizational analysis. Whilst acknowledging the benefits of the approach, especially in micro analysis, the paper discusses five areas of difficulty: the fundamental concepts of transaction and bounded rationality; the inadequate treatment of power relations; the over-simplified treatment of norms and values; the ahistorical treatment of organizational context; and the problematic status of functional explanations. The paper argues instead for an interest-interdependence approach, building upon the work of Blau and more recently Coleman.
