Abstract

In this chapter we present, first, general conclusions to the book. Afterward, we discuss three different sets of issues regarding the results presented in this book. First, we outline the need for a general framework that combines statistical programming and natural language processing. Second, we discuss the challenges that our results pose to the design of bureaucratic organizations and how improvised solutions should be integrated into organizational memories. Third, we relate our results with further paths of research about procedural rationality and expertise.
