évoqués. Abstract This paper attempts to assess the influence of Herbert Simon’s Bounded Rationality Theory in Management Sciences. First, the authors point out some results of the main research streams based on Bounded Rationality in marketing (consumer behavior), human resources management and organization theory. This allows them to outline three limits in the adoption of this theory in Management Sciences: the vision of decision as being sequential; the focus on a central path to decision

C/D) underlies Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Social contract : Rousseau uses classical metaphors of clockwork, modeling his notion of government on a watch and including mathematical proportions used by clockmakers to design the parts. Similarly, in his Theory of moral sentiments, Adam Smith uses the old metaphor of the eye of the mind, modeling his social system on the recent notions of perspective : two persons, when they meet, will regulate their passions — of any type except interest — according to

as the engineering and construction industry battles overcapacity, which may affect the company operating margins. However, its capital structure represents an important strategic factor that we will talk about later on Optimal Capital Structure In theory, the optimal capital structure is the one that will minimize the WACC and will at the same time minimize the possibility of financial distress and bankruptcy. This implies a perfect balance of debt and equity as to maximize tax savings without making

agency theory. The agency theory suggests monitoring and bonding mechanism to tackle the agency problem arising from conflicts of interest between shareholders and managers. Separating ownership from control may create a divergence of interests between shareholders and managers. According to Beecher-Monas (2007), the basic risk created by this separation is that those in control will pursue their own objectives at the investor’s expense, diverting funds or shirking in their efforts. In theory, this

brands and the side effects of each. Trial is influenced by product characteristics and marketing activity. Not all trials will be successful in the treatment of patients. Successful trials, however, typically lead to repeat purchases with a low probability of brand switching. Our analysis, however, shows that innovative late entry can produce an advantage relative to pioneering. Innovative late movers grow faster than pioneers, have higher market potentials, and have higher repeat rates. In addition
