摘要：This paper takes a fresh look at both decision-making research and the actual process of organizational decision making. A model is proposed that captures the true complexity of decision making, including the ambiguity of commitment, decision maker experience, affect and insight, and the interwoven network of issues associated with each decision. This article provides new insight and ideas about organization decision making.

We present models of language, communication and cognition that can assist in the design...

摘要：This article examines the role of class conflict and group processes during the transitional stage of an organization experimenting with a high involvement management system and a group-based bonus. Review articles on workplace democracy often report ambiguous empirical findings. This is because much of the writing about participatory management is narrowly grounded in either human relations or human resource management theory. This study uses organization theory literature on class conflict a...
