Primes¶
- Bounded Rationality
- - Organizational management science. The Carnegie School (Simon, March, Cyert) showed firms use standard operating procedures, aspiration-level adaptation, and sequential attention, not comprehensive optimization.
This sourceAspiration-level adjustment dynamics; organizational decision routines and SOPs; supports the Carnegie-School organizational-procedures claim and the allocation of bounded rationality across agents via structure.

- Coordination
- It directs effort toward mechanisms rather than cultural change alone, which is often faster and more generalizable, a shift March and Simon (1958) anchored in their classic treatment of organizations as bounded-rational coordination systems.
This sourceFoundational treatment of organizations as bounded-rational coordination systems; argues that structural mechanisms (programs, communication channels, decision premises) substitute for case-by-case interpersonal alignment.

- Satisficing
- … option that meets the aspiration level — accepting that option without evaluating whether better ones exist elsewhere in the option space; and (4) dynamically adjusts aspiration levels** based on the difficulty of finding satisfying options, raising the level when many options satisfy and lowering it when few do
This sourceDynamic aspiration-level adjustment in organizations; problem-solving routines and search procedures. Establishes that organizational aspirations adapt based on reference points (past performance, competitor benchmarks). Cross-G3 B3 candidate: shared with bounded_rationality (#67) — verify dedup at B3.*
