在管理和心理学文献中发现的替代信息处理模型（理性的，有限的能力，专家和控制论）的一般分类系统的开发。这些模型进行评估的四个标准：理论效用，描述的准确性，规定的价值，并建议干预措施与典型的信息处理的潜力。根据所有标准，没有哪种模型是上级的，然而每种模型都对典型工作情况下的信息处理提供了不同的解释。每个模型在几个理论领域（归因理论，决策，绩效评估）提供了不同的解释，每个模型有不同的方法论意义。因此，研究人员或从业人员应仔细评估每个模型对特定目的的适用性。
A general taxonomic system of alternative information-processing models (rational, limited capacity, expert, and cybernetic) found in the management and psychological literatures is developed. These models are evaluated on four criteria: theoretical utility, descriptive accuracy, prescriptive value, and potential to suggest interventions consistent with typical information processing. No model is superior according to all criteria, yet each model provides a different explanation of information processing in typical work situations. Each model provides a different explanation of processing in several theoretical domains (attribution theory, decision making, performance appraisal), and each model has different methodological implications. Thus, researchers or practitioners should carefully evaluate the applicability of each model for their particular purpose.
