Organized by the Centre of Excellence for Social Innovation (CESI) at the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIMK), this talk features Professor Robert Axtell of George Mason University and the Santa Fe Institute exploring the enduring legacy of his mentor, Herbert A. Simon. Professor Axtell examines Simon's contributions to administrative behavior and decision-making, focusing on core concepts such as bounded rationality, which challenges the economic assumption of perfect rationality, and Simon's perspective of an "organizational economy" where most activity occurs within firms. He further delves into the structural principles of near-decomposability and hierarchy as essential frameworks for understanding how complex organizations function. Bridging historical work with contemporary research, Axtell highlights Simon's early advocacy for the computational simulation of organizations—a precursor to modern "digital twins"—and shares practical heuristics and personal anecdotes on research and problem representation, concluding with a comprehensive Q&A session.
