Excerpt from Theories of Decision Making: An Annotated Bibliography

Much literature has been written on the subject of decision making. At various times bibliographers have sought to collect this information in a usable form. In 1958 Paul Wasserman and Fred S. Silander published an annotated bibliography on decision making. They felt that "in spite of an increasing rate of publication on the topic, the scientific study of decision-making appears to be at an early stage of development. The literature's sum total is to be found in a widely scattered group of writings which cut across all the areas of social and scientific inquiry," Their bibliography is divided into eight sections which deal with various factors in decision making and with the types of groups who make decisions.

In 1959 William J. Gore and Fred S. Silander published "A Bibliographic Essay on Decision Making." Gore and Silander saw decision making as a fractured and conceptually incomplete body of literature, "a kind of conceptual wonderland full of magnificently intricate and promising devices but without any central or organizing concept." They set about to apply an organizing principle to the literature of decision making, dividing it into the behavioristic or organismic thread and the rationalistic thread. The organismic thread was subdivided into three additional areas.
