Abstract
     J. S. Coleman suggested a formal model of collective decision which assumes actors exchange their control over events in social systems. In this paper, a new version of Coleman's model is developed. It assumes actors exchange their control over the other actors' attitude and action. Though the new version has, like Coleman's model, little theoretical tools for the dynamic analysis of exchange process, I think it is useful for understanding the elementary properties of social association.
