For this three-volume set the editors have selected many of the
most influential articles published since 1984 on the topics of
knowledge management and the improvement of organizational
learning, developmental learning by individual organizations and
the development of populations of organizations. Many of the
articles in Volume I are trailblazers in the field of knowledge
management; they discuss ways of fostering learning, managing
knowledge and extracting economic benefits from knowledge. Volume
II investigates how individual organizations learn: topics covered
include cognitive versus behavioural learning, interpretation,
incremental change and reorientation, and learning from success and
failure. Volume III follows the development of the academic study
of populations of organizations: it explores both behavioural and
cognitive learning processes from the point of view of industries,
geographic neighbourhoods and networks. New, authoritative
introductions to each volume by the editors offer a comprehensive
overview and informative discussion of the issues.
The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Decision Making
comprehensively surveys theory and research on organizational
decision-making, broadly conceived. Emphasizing psychological
perspectives, while encompassing the insights of economics,
political science, and sociology, it provides coverage at the
individual, group, organizational, and inter-organizational levels
of analysis. In-depth case studies illustrate the practical
implications of the work surveyed. Each chapter is authored by one
or more leading scholars, thus ensuring that this Handbook is an
authoritative reference work for academics, researchers, advanced
students, and reflective practitioners concerned with
decision-making in the areas of Management, Psychology, and HRM.

Bill Starbuck has been one of the leading management researchers
over several decades. In this book he reflects on a number of
challenges associated with management and social science research -
the search for a 'behavioral science', the limits of rationality,
the unreliability of many research findings, the social shaping of
research agendas, cultures and judgements. It is an engaging,
chronologically structured account in which he discusses some of
his own research projects and various methodological debates. This
is a feisty argument from someone who has been fully engaged with
all aspects of research - carrying out research programmes,
evaluating research, tirelessly questioning the assumptions and
claims of social science research, and never avoiding the awkward
theoretical or practical challenges that face organizational
researchers. Well written, provocative and unusual, this quasi
autobiographical account will inform and entertain, and be a
valuable guide to current and future research students.
