1	No	Questions for James March about BTF

4	3	What do you think the largest contribution of the BTF has been?
5	4	Does BTF's critique of black box approaches of organizational action still hold true today?
6	5	Do you think BTF has influenced mainstream disciplines (i.e., economics, psychology and sociology)? Why do you think it has or has not?

8	7	What processes identified in the BTF (such as routine,search,attention, and others) still need further development?
9	8	Moving forward, what are the most important/unresolved theoretical questions that the literature that builds on BTF can tackle?
10	9	How might work that builds on BTF enter into a conversation with other disciplines (i.e., political science)?
11	10	Which areas of research have the strongest impact on management practice, and how can those be further developed?
12	11	Is there anything you wish you had done differently (e.g., incorporated, left out, changed) when developing BTF?
13	12	For future scholars seeking to develop theory as impactful as BTF, even in unrelated areas, what advice would you have?
14	13	After 50 years of research since BTF, is there anything you think has been proved incorrect in the original work?
15
16	No	Questions added by the voters on http://www.allourideas.org/interviewjimmarch
17	14	How is the BTF related to theories of organizational evolution and adaptation?
18	15	How do you imagine social science will be in 100 years from now?
19	16	What do you anticipate social scientists will be studying 50 years from now? Do you think the BTF will speak to those issues?
20	17	What do you see as the relationship between the BTF and Garbage Can Models?
21	18	How much of BTF was based upon your experiences in academic departments as opposed to business organizations?
22	19	As business schools pressure faculty to focus on incremental publications more than big ideas, how do you see the future of big theory?
23	20	What types of satisficing behavior do you see in academia nowadays?
24	21	What do you think about how the ideas of exploration and exploitation have come to be used in the management literature?
25	22	How does Jim see the BTF in relation to Hannan and Freeman's ecological approach?
26	23	If you can be young again and have billion dollars for research fund, what research do you want to do with?
27	24	What are the criticisms that may be made of the BTF from the point of view of Coase's (1937) analysis of the firm?
28	25	Tell us about your collaboration with Richard Cyert on BTF?
29	26	How can we add a dollar value to our research for organizations? (something similar like Schmidt and Hunter tried to do with test utility)
30	27	BTF theorises search as a process, but we commonly study it as an input (e.g. R&D) or output (e.g. patent). What is missed as a result?
31	28	With today's research tools, how would you go about theorizing and testing ideas to extend (or perhaps correct) the BTF?
32	29	Practitioners often write books on how they succeeded and advanced their organizations. How much can we trust these accounts?
