02人物简介
詹姆斯·马奇出生于1928年，1953年获得耶鲁大学博士学位，之后在卡耐基工艺学院任教。1964年担任加州大学社会科学院的首任院长，1970年成为斯坦福大学的管理学教授，同时也担任政治学、社会学、教育学教授，是名副其实的多领域大师。
芝加哥大学的约翰．帕杰特教授在《当代社会学》期刊中写道：詹姆斯·马奇的影响力及于社会科学各个领域，范围之广，同侪望尘莫及。
马奇被公认为是过去50年来，在组织决策研究领域最有贡献的学者之一，他在组织、决策和领导力等领域都颇有建树。主要著作有《决策是如何产生的》《组织》《经验的疆界》等。
03内容简介
詹姆斯·马奇的工作横跨管理学、政治学、社会学、公共管理和教育学，是组织理论的创始人之一。他可以跳脱出在许多组织学术中非常普遍的理性模型框架即兴思考，为了纪念他，这本书包含了很多马奇的富有想象力的、有启发性的观点和创意，并由此希望可以鼓励其他的人来欣赏、探索这些观点。在卡内基理工学院时，马奇和他的合著者赫伯特·西蒙和理查德·西尔特一起建立了卡耐基学院，并在20世纪60年代中期搬到了加州，但马奇也最终离开了他们。
这本书强调并建立了许多对理性的补充品和替代品，这些都是马奇曾经在斯坦福阐述过的:一种愚笨的技术，决策的垃圾桶模型，恰当性逻辑，组织学习，以及各种机会和运气模型。运用各种方法论工具，包括模型、实验室实验和定量、定性分析，本书试图扩展我们对决策如何发生、行动者如何行为、组织如何面对探索和利用的陷阱，以及我们如何从真理、美和正义的角度思考人类行为等方面的理解。这本书是马奇的学生和同事对他的赞颂，以让读者深切感知到这位非凡的人、诗人、圣人以及学者。
With work spanning management, political science, sociology, public administration and education, James G. March was a founder of organization theory. Honouring his exceptional ability to go beyond the models of rationality so prevalent in much of organizational scholarship, this edited collection builds on March's imaginative, evocative ideas and encourages others to appreciate and explore them. Jim March left his co-authors Herbert Simon and Richard Cyert at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, where they had founded what is known as the Carnegie School and moved to California in the mid 1960s. This volume highlights and builds on many of the complements and alternatives to rationality that March articulated once settled at Stanford: a technology of foolishness, garbage can models of decision making, a logic of appropriateness, organizational learning, and a variety of models of chance and luck. Employing a variety of methodological tools including models, laboratory experiments and quantitative and qualitative analysis, the chapters seek to extend our understandings of how decisions happen, how actors behave, how organizations navigate the traps of exploration and exploitation, and how we might contemplate human action in terms of truth, beauty and justice. The volume is a celebration of Jim by his students and colleagues that gives readers a sense of this extraordinary person, poet, sage and scholar.
