 == What is Bounded Rationality? ==
-'''Bounded Rationality''' is a way of thinking about decisions made by individuals and institutions that incorporates constraints on time, information, and cognitive resources. In a comprehensive rationality model, decision makers' priorities do not change (they have stable preferences), and they seek out as much information as they need to make a decision that yields their most preferred feasible outcome (they “maximize” their utilities). The bounded rationality concept explains individual and organizational behavior consistent with empirical observations of human cognition. In contrast with comprehensive decision making, under bounded rationality individuals “satisfice” (a coinage blending “satisfy” and “suffice” )— choosing “good enough” solutions that meet their goals ( Simon 1945 ). Bounded rationality describes and predicts behavior and outputs better than comprehensive rationality ( Conlisk 1996; Jones 2003 ).

 == Bounded Rationality Explained ==
-Bounded rationality theory was coined by Herbert A. Simon, an American political scientist. Rationality took the central place in this behavior theory and thus forms the main explaining element. According to Simon, a “decision” is the bridge that connects rationality and behavior, while a “choice” is selecting one from the practical behavioral alternatives. Every behavior involves a practical selection, whether it is conscious or not. The process of arriving at this selection is called a decision. Rationality is a factor in decisions assuming that the agents are inherently rational. It is, otherwise, the relationship of efficacy between predetermined goals and the means to achieve them.

-Herbert Simon's Theory of Bounded Rationality is significant as it provides an explanation for why humans make decisions based on limited knowledge and cognitive capacity. By understanding the theory of bounded rationality, individuals can better understand their own decision-making process and take into account the limitations of their own cognitive capacities when making decisions. Additionally, organizations can use this concept to help structure decision-making processes and create frameworks that are suitable for individual decision-makers capacities.
