Abstract
A recent study in an industry with an unstable environment (Fredrickson & Mitchell, 1984) reported a negative relationship between comprehensiveness (a measure of rationality) and organization performance. An extension of that study establishes a positive relationship between comprehensiveness and performance in a stable environment.Keywords
