Abstract

We assess to what extent a (co)evolutionary macro level approach enhances our understanding of learning in governance processes. We ask the question: in what ways do actors learn to improve their chances of long-term survival in complex governance processes? We deploy a model of collective decision making moulded upon fitness landscapes to analyze a longitudinal case study of collective (political and administrative) decision making, namely the process of developing and acquiring the F35 Lightning II fighter jet. The study demonstrates that actors learn how to ensure survival over time but create a failing megaproject in the process.

学习和适应，否则就会失败：以F35闪电II为例

我们评估（共同）进化宏观层面的方法在多大程度上增强了我们对治理过程中学习的理解。我们提出了一个问题：行动者如何学会在复杂的治理过程中提高长期生存的机会？我们部署了一个基于健身景观的集体决策模型，以分析集体（政治和行政）决策的纵向案例研究，即F35闪电II战斗机的开发和采购过程。这项研究表明，演员们学会了如何随着时间的推移确保生存，但在这个过程中却创造了一个失败的大型项目。

期刊介绍： Administration & Society seeks to further the understanding of public and human service organizations, their administrative processes, and their effect on society. The journal publishes empirically oriented research reports and theoretically specific articles that synthesize or contribute to the advancement of understanding and explanation in these fields. Of particular interest are (1) studies that analyze the effects of the introduction of administrative strategies, programs, change interventions, and training; and (2) studies of intergroup, interorganizational, and organization-environment relationships and policy processes.
