Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Carnegie model of decision making does not assume that the organization is an organized anarchy. The model developed by March and Simon assumes that organizations are coalitions of individuals and groups with diverse interests and power, and decision making is a political process involving negotiations and compromises among these coalitions. The model also assumes that decision making is costly, managers satisfice (make decisions that are satisfactory but not necessarily optimal), and decisions are made based on bounded rationality (limited information, cognitive capacity, and time).
