Abstract

The paper introduces the structuralist concept of theory reconstruction with a trivial model from physics and afterwards applies it to several versions of the garbage can model of organisational behaviour. It shows that simulation and theory reconstruction are to some extent equivalent. The paper also presents a new version of the garbage can model and discusses several results of the simulation model.
