This project extends a theory of decision making in or- ganizations. It will compare several decision strategies in terms of effectiveness as functions of the communication and influence structure. The theoretical extensions include accoun- ting for individual differences, unstable or 'chaotic' network structures, and increasingly complex payoff interdependencies. After theoretical development, research will test and apply the theory in three settings: computer simulations, controlled laboratory experiments, and natural settings. Results should link social exchange theories to theories of network selection and organizational behavior.

这个项目扩展了组织中的决策理论。它将比较几种决策策略作为沟通和影响结构的功能的有效性。理论上的扩展包括考虑个体差异、不稳定或“混乱”的网络结构以及日益复杂的回报相互依赖关系。在理论发展之后，研究将在三个环境中测试和应用该理论：计算机模拟、受控实验室实验和自然环境。结果应该将社会交换理论与网络选择和组织行为理论联系起来。
