This book utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach to study the complex relationship between individuals, organizations, and the concept of goal-setting. It delves into organizational theory to explain how optimizing behavior coexists with satisficing and risk management in response to diverse goals, offering a fresh perspective on the classic idea of economic profit maximization. The author examines the process of creating a hierarchy of goals within an organization, with some considered more important than others. Different levels of performance are accepted in each and there are varying levels of acceptable risks for actions that will achieve them. Mathematical models are used to represent the complex interplay between the desire for reward and the need to manage risk. The book reframes widely held assumptions about the relationship between optimizing behavior and satisficing to provide innovative ways to model organizational behavior.
