Organizational decision making and error in a dynamic task environment*

Abstract

Organizational theorists have attributed organizational performance to a variety of factors including time pressure, training, organizational complexity, environment complexity, and the match between the organization and its environment. Using a computational model of organizational performance based on an information processing and resource dependency view of organizations the effects of these factors are simultaneously compared and their potential relative impact deduced. Following such an analysis we find that time pressure, training, organizational complexity, and organizational environment are stronger determinants of organizational performance than the match between the organization and its environment.
