The Three Faces of Bounded Reliability: Alfred Chandler and the Micro-Foundations of Management Theory
內容大綱
Alfred Chandler, the celebrated business historian, provided detailed descriptions of the reasons for failed human commitments and the managerial tools needed to prevent/remediate such failings in the context of large business firms. Chandler's historical narrative identifies three distinct "faces" of bounded reliability-opportunism, benevolent preference reversal, and identity-based discordance-as the main drivers of commitment failure. Adopting bounded reliability (BRel) as a micro-foundation in management studies will raise the quality and relevance of scholarly recommendations to improve managerial decision making and action, because analysis of BRel challenges closely mirrors the real-world problems facing practicing managers.
