Help with a reference please.

I wonder if any members can help me with a reference. I once had a course in public administration in which one of the readings was an essay entitled something like 'radical change v. fiddling around the edges." I thought the author was either Herbert Simon or, perhaps, Amitai Etzioni although I've nearly worn out my fingertips Googling all manner of permutations with no joy. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

 

This is all I found.

Abstract:
The article presents the author's opinion that commercial taxation should be determined by law in Great Britain, not by moral comment, and that the General Anti-Abuse Rule (GAAR) which takes effect in July 2013 is not going to prevent legal tax avoidance. The author argues the GAAR will deter businesses' reinvestment plans which could affect job creation. He also argues the GAAR will dissuade multinational companies from making investments in Great Britain.

Abstract:
This paper has been written as a comment on the article, "Some Limits of Rational Man Organizational Theory," by Chris Argyris, which appeared in the May/June 1973 issue of "Public Administration Review." There is no need to pick fault with details of Argyris' characterization of the theories of Allison, Cyert, March, Steinbruner. First, Argyris' critique contains a serious confusion between the influence of the organizational environment upon the individual, and the influence of the manager upon the individual. Managers, of course, swim about in the organizational environment, are influenced by it, just as are other employees. A major theme of Argyris' critique is that exaggerated emphasis has been given to the rational component of human behavior at the expense of the emotional and motivational. This allegation is not borne out by examination of the literature itself. Finally, Argyris' essay exhibits a curious ambivalence toward the idea of bounded rationality, and the related concept of statisficing.

Thanks, Michigan68, I'll look into this.

 

Is this - a 56-page reading from U. Wisconsin course in Public Administration the one you want? The title sounds right. https://www.coursehero.com/file/p4ri1i7/Fiddling-around-the-edges-The-opposite-of-radical-change-Barrier-to-Entry/
