  • James G. March's celebrated agent-based simulation model for organizational learning [March, Organization Science \textbf{2}, 71 (1991)] has been extensively studied for the last decades. Yet the model was not fully understood due to the lack of analytical solutions of the model. We simplify the March model to take an analytical approach using master equations. We then derive exact solutions for some simplest yet nontrivial cases, and perform numerical estimation of master equations for more complicated cases. Both analytical and numerical results are in good agreement with agent-based simulations. These results are also compared to those of the original March model. Our approach enables us to rigorously understand the results of the simplified model as well as the original model to a large extent.
