The Administrative Behavior (book)

"The Administrative Behavior," by Herbert Simon, examines how organizations and their managers make decisions. It explores the idea that decision-makers often do not have perfect information or unlimited time, leading them to settle for satisfactory rather than optimal choices. Simon introduces concepts like bounded rationality, highlighting human limitations, and emphasizes the importance of structured procedures and heuristics in administrative processes. Overall, the book provides insights into the practical ways organizations function, focusing on decision-making, problem-solving, and administrative efficiency within real-world constraints.
