The relationship of the individual and the group in decision-making is explored. Decision-Making and Administrative Organization This chapter was based on a 1944 article with the same name in Public Administration Review."[4] The fourth edition lacked Barnard's foreword which had been present in the first through third editions.. they occur in pairs. knowledge of consequences is always fragmentary. Simon states that "over-all efficiency must be the guiding criterion" in administrative organizations and that scientific methods must be applied to determine how to improve that efficiency.It is a fatal defect of the current principles of administration that. there is nothing in the theory to indicate which is the proper one to apply." Simon wrote:[1]:81[4]:93-94 Actual behavior falls short. To substantiate this criticism." The chapter's second section on "Policy and Administration" discusses how the legislative and executive branches of government apply facts and values. of objective rationality…: (1) Rationality requires a complete knowledge and anticipation of the consequences that will follow on each choice. Administrative efficiency is increased by grouping the workers…. Administrative efficiency is increased by limiting the span of control at any point in the hierarchy to a small number. such as ambiguities and lack of empirical evidence.[13]:97[29] After pointing out the shortcomings in the four principles.

Rationality in Administrative Behavior After considering how the ideas of means and ends relate to decision-making. These principles were found in the 1937 book Papers on the Science of Administration edited by Luther Gulick and Lyndall Urwick. 1. Administrative efficiency is increased by arranging the members of the group in a determinate hierarchy of authority.[1]:76-77[4]:85 [edit] Chapter V." "subjectively. "[4]:164 [edit] Chapter VII.[1]:14. Loyalties and Organizational Identification . Simon counters criticisms of the efficiency criterion and outlines methods by which efficiency can be attained (e. Simon discusses the nature of authority and how it is used in organizations: for enforcing responsibility. to include nonprofit organizations) the criterion causes "that choice of alternatives which produces the largest result for the given application of resources. In Chapter VII."[1]:154[4]:208 Communication can be formal or informal."[1]:172-173[4]:250-251 More generally (i. by "functionalization" and by the public budget process).

But values can be only imperfectly anticipated. and is sometimes accomplished through training." the central idea of this chapter is that "the survival and success of organizations depend on their providing sufficient incentives to their members to secure the contributions that are needed to carry out the organizations' tasks. The Criterion of Efficiency This chapter expands upon a concept that had been mentioned briefly in preceding chapters." [edit] Chapter VI.[4]:223-249 [edit] Chapter IX. Communication Simon defines communication as "any process whereby decisional premises are transmitted from one member of an organization to another. may need to be archived to provide "memory" for an organization.122[4]:12. for obtaining decision-making expertise. and for coordinating activity.. The 4th edition's "Commentary on Chapter VIII" discusses computerized communications which were unavailable in 1947. The Equilibrium of the Organization As summarized by Simon in the 4th edition's "Commentary on Chapter VI. Four methods are described for avoiding conflicts in authority when a subordinate has multiple superiors. The Role of Authority Chapters VII-X deal with four ways in which an organization can influence an individual's decisions. the "criterion of efficiency" states than an individual will select an alternative that will maximize income and minimize cost so as to "yield the greatest net (money) return to the organization. imagination must supply the lack of experienced feeling in attaching value to them. in making a decision. The task of administration is so to design this environment that the individual will approach as close as practicable to rationality (judged in terms of the organization's goals) in his decisions. The Anatomy of Organization Simon describes the organizational decision-making process and writes:[1]:240-241[4]:322[18]:263 The need for an administrative theory resides in the fact that there are practical limits to human rationality.[32]:445-446 In 1962." Simon and Dwight Waldo exchanged articles in which Simon "accuse[d] Waldo of logical unrigor" while Waldo "charge[d] Simon with philosophical myopia" due to Simon's reliance on logical positivism in Administrative Behavior. but depend upon the organizational environment in which the individual's decision takes place."[31] The book played a central role in what is known as the "Simon-Waldo debate" published in the American Political Science Review in 1952. by Storing himself. and "assumed 'goodness' of organizations.[17]:263 Similarly. he evaluates the several alternatives of choice in terms of their consequences for the specified group. Dahl wrote in 1947 that a science of organizations was impossible due to cultural differences among organizations. a 1957 review of the second edition questioned whether scientific studies of important aspects of organizational decision-making "under controlled conditions" could ever be undertaken.270[19] One analysis notes differences in Storing's and Simon's styles of thinking ("dichotomous" versus "synthetic")."[35] .[34] In his autobiography. critiqued Administrative Behavior. Simon discusses the "theoretical" (descriptive) aspects and "practical" aspects (i. one of the essays therein..e. Simon asserts that "a person identifies himself with a group when. Herbert Storing edited a book entitled Essays on the Scientific Study of Politics. Simon wrote that the essays in Storing's book "were such egregious examples of the practice of reading texts unsympathetically and without a genuine attempt to understand them that [he] never felt an urge to respond to them.[28] Simon responded to the 1957 review that "as knowledge advances… administrative practice will come to rest largely on scientifically tested knowledge of fundamental underlying mechanisms.[1]:212[4]:290 [edit] Chapter XI.

In the final part of the book common to all editions. levels of abstraction."[1]:205[4]:284 Such organizational identification can be associated with decisions that are not optimal in terms of and organization's efficiency or adequacy ("the degree to which its goals have been reached").[7][13]:134-135[32][33] Using "purple prose.Following a concept of Harold Lasswell."[12]:63. it became notable for the following innovations: A scientific approach to administration. Administrative theory is peculiarly the theory of intended and bounded rationality – of the behavior of human beings who satisfice because they have not the wits to maximize.[15]:356-357 A focus on organizational decision making as the basis for organizational action."[7][12]:86.[30]:505[16]:9 The initial description of what would later be called "bounded rationality. 80-81. Later in the 2nd through 4th editions.”[1]:39-41.[38] In the 1st edition of Administrative Behavior.[36] [edit] Legacy Simon felt that the reviews of the first edition "were generally kind.[39]:129.[12]:88[19] Nevertheless.87[15]:353[37]:743-744 a term that one paper concludes first appeared in Simon's 1957 book Models of Man. but the index to the 3rd edition indicates that pertinent passages are found in the 1st edition on pages 38-41. can occur within organizations.[7][12]:87[41] .'"[2]:xxv[3]:xxix[4]:119 The word is not used in the 1st edition of Administrative Behavior.[7]:290-293[18]:256 The book minimizes the role of emotions and habit in organizations.[30]:506 Simon did not analyze how immoral behavior. as opposed to John Dewey who emphasized habit and action.241[38]:36. "to satisfice" is defined as "to look[] for a course of action that is satisfactory or 'good enough. such as police corruption.[3]:363 The concept of organizational identification in Chapter X. and that the book "created no sensation" at first. Simon used the phrases “limits to rationality” or “limits of rationality. Simon does not offer any convincing replacement for the principles of organization that he critiques.40 The initial description of what a 1956 paper by Simon called satisficing.[18]:256-257 For example.[17]:267 Simon's Introductions and commentaries in the second through fourth editions interpret material in the first edition in a way that stretches its meaning or contradicts it. and 240-244.80. and in the 4th edition's "Commentary on Chapter V":[2]:xxiv[3]:xxviii[4]:118[33] The central concern of administrative theory is with the boundary between the rational and the nonrational aspects of human social behavior.38.136[40] As stated in the Introductions to the 2nd and 3rd editions. Simon saw "satisficing man" in the 1947 text but other authors saw "maximizing man."[17]:267 The fact/value and policy/administration distinctions have been criticized as unnecessary. but the reviewers were not exhilerated [sic]"[7].[33] A 1990 essay asserts that Chapter II ("Some Problems of Administrative Theory") did not criticize Gulick's work fairly in that Gulick already recognized most of the problems that Simon discussed. Allison (1971). Sune Carlson said in a speech at the ceremony awarding Simon a Nobel Prize in Economics:[8] …the study of the structure and the decision-making of the firm became an important task in economic science. it was reported that economists Albert Ando and William Baumol had "made little reference to Administrative Behavior" in arguing to the Nobel Prize Committee that Simon should win.[30][47]:279 Together."[10]:251. including Public Administration (with Donald W.[17][50][51][52] In 1990.[10] A set of 12 papers about the book appeared in Public Administration Quarterly in 1988-1989 for the book's 40th anniversary.[30][48] Essence of Decision: Explaining the Cuban Missile Crisis by Graham T.
