The Anatomy & Physiology of Organizations | Herbert Simon | Administrative Behavior

In today's video, we'll explore the metaphorical anatomy and physiology of organizations. Discover how organizational structures and processes influence decision-making and how composite decisions reflect the intricate interplay of inputs and outputs across an organization. We examine the roles of anatomy (structure) and physiology (function) in shaping organizational behavior, the significance of decisional premises, and the impact of review processes on authority, compliance, and efficiency.
