    Symposium Abstract

    Bounded rationality, a concept pioneered by Herbert A. Simon, has prompted the adoption of technologies within organizations to mitigate limitations in human rationality and improve outcomes. However, organizations still exhibit inefficiencies and biases despite the use of relevance technologies. Algorithms have thus garnered significant scholarly interest for their potential impact on bounded rationality. Recent studies reveal the benefits of algorithms in improving individual-level performance, creativity and learning. Yet, many organizational domains shaped by the inherent features of bounded rationality remain theoretically unformulated and empirically untested regarding their interaction with algorithms. This panel symposium aims to explore this gap. Our distinguished group of panelists will present their research program, share insights into the interplay between algorithms and bounded rationality, and suggest directions for future studies in this emerging field.
