At the time of Parkinson's study (the 1950s), the Cabinet was still the official governing body. Parkinson observed that, from 1939 on, there was an effort to save the Cabinet as an institution. The membership had been fluctuating from a high of 23 members in 1939, down to 18 in 1954.
The amount of time taken to process a certain amount of bits in the Hick–Hyman law is known as the "rate of gain of information". The plain language implication of the finding is that increasing the number of choices does not directly increase the time to choose. In other words, twice as many choices does not result in twice as long to choose.
Symbolic behavior is "a person’s capacity to respond to or use a system of significant symbols" (Faules & Alexander, 1978, p. 5). The symbolic behavior perspective argues that the reality of an organization is socially constructed through communication (Cheney & Christensen, 2000; Putnam, Phillips, & Chapman, 1996).

Because the symbol may have a different meaning to the source and receiver, the individual receiving the information may take longer to process it because they ...

Role-taking is a key mechanism that permits people to see another person's perspective to understand what an action might mean to another person. Role ...
When you hear someone say, 'See you at two o'clock haole time,' they mean they will do just that. Haole time is when the person will meet when they say they will meet. But if you were to hear someone say, 'I'll be there at two o'clock Hawaiian time,' then something different is implied. Hawaiian time is very lax and it basically means 'when you ...
The longer it takes them to find one, the busier the food-storer bees are, and therefore the higher the nectar-collecting rate of the colony. [44] Forager bees also assess the quality of nectar by comparing the length of time it takes to unload the forage: a longer unloading time indicates
