There are a number of organizations whose missions involve great                potential risk, but where perfect reliability is demanded                       because of the extraordinary consequences of failure. Examples                  of such high reliability organizations include nuclear aircraft                 carriers, air traffic control systems, and many public                          utilities. Relatively little is known about how these                           organizations operate, and how their operations differ from                     other types of organizations.                                                                                                                                   The investigators will spend extensive periods of time observing                and interviewing personnel on a nuclear carrier and a California                electric utility. They will examine the central authority                       structure of the high reliability organizations, the way                        decisions are reached and the decision-making role of computer                  technology, and the development of a self-sacrificing                           organizational culture.
