Introduction to Theory of Control in Organizations

This book explains how methodologies from systems analysis and control theory, including game and graph theory, can be applied to improve organizational management. The theory presented extends the traditional approach of management science by introducing the optimization and game-theoretical tools required to account for the special nature of human beings being viewed as control objects. Requiring no prior knowledge of game theory or mechanism design, the book includes a systematic introduction to the underlying methodology of modern theory of control in organizations.
