QUASI-RATIONAL MODELS OF BEHAVIOR IN ORGANIZATION RESEARCH.

Abstract

Two approaches to organization theory having origins in economic theory are investigated for their relevance to problems of organization control. A third approach is explored via the construction of quasi-rational models of goal oriented behavior, incorporating features of both of the others. The need for such models is discussed as well as their general relevance to the pursuit of knowledge of the description and design of organization control systems. (Author)
