With Herbert Simon, Nobel laureate in Economics, he developed organizational theory, which describes the behavior of decision-makers with limited cognitive abilities, confronted with the clash of logics from different departments within an organization. He then established research on organizational learning, recently revived by the trend of “knowledge management.” Finally, in the field of political science, he and Johan Olsen created the neo-institutionalist school, which, contrary to the prevailing liberalism, demonstrates the essential role of institutions in the organization of collective life. Jim March is also a professor who has fascinated generations of Stanford students. It was in Don Quixote, Othello, and War and Peace, rather than in management books, that he found for them the most eloquent descriptions of humankind grappling with its contradictions.” His work has been extensively discussed within the various disciplines it helped to revolutionize: economics, sociology, psychology, management research, and political science. This book, however, represents the first comprehensive overview of his entire body of work, presenting and explaining its many facets.
