摘要

The specific nature of decision rules and the pattern of connections they create between people help determine the performance of an organization. To show these casual connections, decision rules are rigorously defined and their algebraic structure explored. Properties of decision rules and of structure performance are then operationally defined. A number of propositions connecting decision rule properties to performance properties are made, their meanings investigated, and their truths supported by logical arguments. The relations of these newly defined properties to others in the literature are explored and used to restate and integrate together some of the literature's vague and isolated generalizations.
