March’s long and varied career in organization theory encompasses a number of seemingly disparate themes from rationality, to ambiguity and the garbage can model, to exploration and exploitation in organizations. We examine March’s diverse research trajectory and conclude that his different insights can be brought together under one common theme for his career: that both procedural rationality and sensible foolishness are necessary for the pursuit of organizational intelligence. Traditional models of rationality, even bounded rationality, are insufficient because goals are unstable and inconsistent, and causal ambiguity leads to myopic learning or worse. To explain the interplay between procedural rationality and sensible foolishness in organizations, we explore their role in the inter-related processes of programing, monitoring, sensemaking, search, and decision making.

三月与对组织智能的追求：程序理性与明智愚昧之间的相互作用

March在组织理论领域的漫长而多样的职业涵盖了许多看似截然不同的主题，从理性到歧义和垃圾桶模型，再到组织中的探索和利用。我们检查了March的不同研究轨迹，并得出结论，可以将他的不同见解归纳为他的职业生涯的一个共同主题：程序理性和明智愚蠢对于追求组织智慧都是必要的。传统的理性模型，甚至是有限的理性模型，都是不够的，因为目标不稳定且不一致，因果的歧义会导致近视学习或更糟。为了解释组织中程序性理性与明智愚昧之间的相互作用，我们探索了它们在程序设计，监视，感官形成，
