Opis

This text seeks to demonstrate the value of computational analysis for organizational theory and advance the understanding of the relationship between organizational design and performance. It contains both theoretical and methodological contributions.

Recenzje

"This is a useful contribution. The models are interesting and suggestive of promising further work."
—Canadian Artificial Intelligence

"Professors Carley and Prietula have done the field of organization theory a great service by putting this selection of chapters together....an excellent summary of the computational approach....In the new approaches represented in this book, the incentive for the simulations comes to a much greater extent from artificial intelligence and its derivative, expert systems....more than a series of chapters on organizational design. A wide range of topics in organizational theory is considered."
—Richard M. Cyert
Carnegie Mellon University, from the Foreword
