Organization’s communication is affected by rigid formal hierarchy having many layers resultantly there is communication gap between top management and branch managers. Evidences also suggest that there is the problem of implementation of decisions as intended by top managers that may be the result of communication gap. Key Words: Bounded rationality, Escalation of commitment, Rationality in decision making, Satisficing. |
