The Ethereal Hand: Organizational Economics and Management Theory
探讨组织经济学对管理理论的贡献与局限,指出其人性模型狭隘、对管理者道德评价负面及方法论个人主义偏见,并提出回归经济学原初积极取向的解决思路。
Organizational economics, as a newer theory, has the potential to make a constructive contribution to management theory. Nevertheless, there are several inherent problems regarding its narrow model of human motivation and behavior, its negative moral characterization of managers, and its methodological individualist bias. One solution is to embrace the positive approach of the original economic formulations. The potentialities and pitfalls of organizational economics are illustrated by reference to matrix organization structures, vertical disintegration in insurance organizations, and corporate governance.
