BEHAVIORAL DECISION MAKING IN THE 1980s: COMMENTS ON THE CUMMINGS PAPER.

This article focuses on Professor I.I. Cummings' timely and thought-provoking mapping of the current state of organizational behavior. It is suggested that an important challenge facing organizational behavior is to reconcile the approaches to research and to capitalize on the contributions made in developing the field. There should be integration in organizational behavior and behavioral decision-making literature. Alternate models of choice in organizational contexts should be developed. Research methods used in behavioral decision making should be re-evaluated. Emphasis should be given on the strategic aspects of behavioral decision making.
