... As such, the aspiration level is a very important reference point for evaluating a company's performance. Performance below the aspiration level can be considered negative, while performance above the aspiration level can be considered a success (Cyert & March, 1963;March & Simon, 1958). ...

... Basing public policy measures solely on normative economics may be a grave error. Business firms may be operating in such a way as to negate or at least severely reduce the impact of many policy measures (Baumol & Simon, 1963;Cyert & March, 1955). If so, then policy considerations must take into account both positive and normative aspects of economics. ...

... Ever since Coase (1937) and Williamson (1975), a more widely accepted theory of the firm has existed. It is at these points that the debates in economic theory shifted from defences of to more dynamic problems (Cyert and March, 1959). ...

... The theory of organizational behavior began to develop in the 1950s as a response to the weaknesses of the assumptions of neoclassical theory. Professor Simon [18] was the pioneer of the theory and Cyert and March [19] continued it. The essence of the theory lies in the analysis and interpretation of organizations as decision-making systems focusing on administrative, economic, or managerial issues that operate in an entrepreneurial environment of uncertainty and lack of information. ...

... and Dijksterhuis et al (1999) push this argument further by suggesting that being 'on the edge of chaos' encourages the emergence of new 'management logics', driven more by principles of self-organisation than of command and control. This approach moves the argument some distance from the earliest treatments of behavioural theories of the firm by the likes of Cyert and March (1963), which emphasised the role of organisational slack, and of rules of thumb, based on satisficing heuristics [Simon (1957[Simon ( , 1972], rather than emergent processes and management logics. ...

... For example, polluting enterprises need to achieve green transformation through environmental investment and green innovation to cope with ecological pollution pressure [3,4], and traditional manufacturing enterprises are in urgent need of intelligent and digital transformation to cope with the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic [5]. Notably, micro-level studies on the factors affecting enterprise transformation and upgrading primarily focus on government subsidies and credit intervention [6,7], technological innovation [8,9], environmental regulation [10], digital innovation [11], and entrepreneurial characteristics [12,13]. However, there is a lack of research to explore the role of enterprise groups' centralized allocation of decision rights in enterprise transformation and upgrading. ...

... I tillegg vil store foretak o e ha mer avansert og variert kompetanse, samt organisatorisk slakk (jf. Cyert & March, 1963), som «istandgjør en organisasjon til å håndtere internt press for tilpasning samt eksternt press for strategiendringer» (Bourgeois, 1981, s. 30). Siden store foretak er relativt ressursrike, og har organisatorisk slakk og legitimitet, er det rimelig å anta at de har vaert relativt godt rustet mot kriser, men forskning på området peker i noe ulike retninger (Amorim Varum & Rocha, 2012;Armand & Mendi, 2018). ...

... Strategic issues with a technical component, as in this case study, create knowledge demands that may not be present in all issues. In order to assemble the requisite technical expertise, issue sellers may choose to create a coalition (Cyert & March, 1959 in support of the issue. Potential responders, in turn, are faced with the twin decisions of whether to join the coalition and whether to speak on behalf of the new coalition to advance the issue. ...

... Cyert & March (1963) proponen una teoría conductual de la organización donde prevalezca la toma de decisiones sobre bases más reales y no sobre supuestos.Para este ciclo, encontramos una vertiente llamada escuela del comportamiento, la cual se sustenta desde un término para algunos, un poco extraño llamado incertidumbre; para March, la incertidumbre existe, pero esta incertidumbre se reducirá en la medida en que la información se despliegue. De ahí, se plantea la idea de un orden, en el cual se limita a que hay un mundo real, que es de conocimiento y entendido en principio, pero habrá un aspecto fundamental que es la racionalidad limitada.El concepto básico que resume a la escuela es una lógica de la consecuencia que conjetura que los objetivos sean precisos, las acciones estén ligadas a las anticipaciones de efectos futuros y las preferencias que sustenten la acción. ...

... These games emerged in the late 1950s and were just beginning to become popular. 25 The best known one, "The Carnegie Tech Management Game" (see Cohen et al., 1960), used the detergent industry of the day to provide the raw material of economic details for its industry model. This was a "man-machine" simulation: the industrial environment (the model) was programmed on the computer and the people playing the game took the role of managers making the decisions required by the firms participating in the industry and responding to the environment; the computer acted as the calculating device that solved the individual plans according to the model of industry level activity. ...
