Review :
'The present volume - a major tribute collection in memory of Richard Cyert, co-edited by James March, and containing a paper by the late Herbert Simon - provides a useful roadmap of the influences this group has had on both heterodox and more mainstream thought. . . this book belongs in every university library.' 'This collection is useful reading for scholars working in behavioral and adaptive economics, as well as information processing and learning in organizations. Overall, the essays offer an overview of the state of the art in behavioral and evolutionary theories of the firm and some very interesting new insights.'
