SALARAHandbook

The Evidence

Research Library

The Handbook defines SALARA. The Research Library explains SALARA's concepts through focused articles, public evidence, and stable reference paths.

SALARA concepts

Chapter 6 introduces the concepts. The Research Library explores them.

These articles expand on the concepts introduced in Chapter 6 while preserving the Handbook as the canonical overview of SALARA.

Canonical evidence objects

organizational knowledge

Public sources only. The records are intentionally concise so Handbook chapters, topic search, and Knowledge CI/CD integrations can reuse the same evidence model.

Behavioral Theory of the Firm

Cyert and March describe organizations as making decisions through goals, expectations, choice, and learned routines rather than through complete information alone.

What the source reports

  • The work treats organizational goals, expectations, and choice as central to how firms decide.
  • It provides a foundation for understanding why organizational knowledge is distributed across people, routines, and prior decisions.

Why it matters here

Chapter 1 begins with the reality that organizations know through accumulated, distributed experience rather than through a single complete view.

Guided Intelligence interpretation

The source does not endorse Guided Intelligence. It supports the handbook's starting point that organizational decision-making is shaped by learned expectations and routines.

  • Its requirements apply across organization types and sizes.
