Summary and Outlook.This book develops best practices for collaboration between teams within large organizations, and demonstrates how an optimal environment for teamwork can improve business processes. To do so, it analyzes the system dynamics of living organisms and applies the results to the business environment. The book employs a consistent approach, applying recent advances in molecular biology to the structure and design of large industrial organizations. These insights from molecular biology are used to define the requirements for a practicable business management system based on the ISO 9000 criteria. The outcome is a viable and feasible system that can be used to design large organizations, e.g. by manufacturers of industrial equipment. In addition, four case studies are used to show how such a biologically inspired system can be implemented to positively and significantly impact business.Contributions to management science.Teams in the workplaceOrganizational effectivenessBiological systemsTeams in the workplace.Organizational effectiveness.Biological systems.658.4022Dachs Clemens1226749MiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910484932203321Viable project business2848455UNINA03562oam 2200721I 450 99620821920331620240402080342.01-134-54652-11-134-54653-X1-299-45866-10-203-18967-11-280-35441-097866103544120-203-13389-710.4324/9780203133897 (CKB)1000000000399356(SSID)ssj0000232681(PQKBManifestationID)12092735(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000232681(PQKBWorkID)10219383(PQKB)10745215(SSID)ssj0000377716(PQKBManifestationID)11923886(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000377716(PQKBWorkID)10339048(PQKB)11728566(MiAaPQ)EBC164927(OCoLC)49569864(EXLCZ)99100000000039935620180331d2000 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrRational choice theory resisting colonization /edited by Margaret S.

Rationality -- pt. 2. Individualism -- pt. 3. Temporality.Rational Choice Theory is flourishing in sociology and is increasingly influential in other disciplines. Contributors to this volume are convinced that it provides an inadequate conceptualization of all aspects of decision making: of the individuals who make the decisions, of the process by which decisions get made and of the context within which decisions get made. The ciritique focuses on the four assumptions which are the bedrock of rational choice: rationality: the theory's definition of rationality is incomplete, and cannot satisfactorily incorporate norms and emotions individualism: rational choice is based upon atomistic, individual decision makers and cannot account for decisions made by ;couples', 'groups' or other forms of collective action process: the assumption of fixed, well-ordered preferences and 'perfect information' makes the theory inadequate for situations of change and uncertainty aggregation: as methodological individualists, rational choice theorists can only view structure and culture as aggregates and cannot incorporate structural or cultural influences as emergent properties which have an effect upon decision making. The critique is grounded in discussion of a wide range of social issues, including race, marriage, health and education.Critical realism--interventions.Rational choice theorySocial ChangeHILCCSociology & Social HistoryHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCRational choice theorySocial ChangeSociology & Social HistorySocial Sciences301/.01Archer Margaret Scotford287729Tritter Jonathan Q.1965-886698PQKBBOOK996208219203316Rational choice theory1980106UNISA
