摘要

Cyert and March's A Behavioral Theory of the Firm is a fundamental and classic book; it was an early integration of organization theory and economics of duopoly. Further, it introduced computational, or simulation, modeling as a means to investigate theoretical questions about the behavior of organizations. This article validates aspects of those early studies. More importantly, the authors extend our understanding of the roles that routines play in an organizational view of the firm and how routines can account for the economic behavior and performance in a duopoly.
