+ by Katz & Kahn
+ organization develop and change over time as a result of both external and internal forces
+ must interact with the environment in order to survive
+ the interplay between internal reality of an organization and the external reality of its environment and history
+ organization must be open to its environment to be effective
+ organizations thrive only as long as there is a continuous flow of energy from the external environment into the system and continuous export of products out of the system
+ too much Negative Entropy
+ they anticipate events occurring in the world that may impact their activities and outcomes

Q

3 Key Elements of Open System Theory

A
  1. Inputs
  2. Throughputs
  3. Outputs/Feedback
257
Q

Inputs

Open Systems Theory

A

raw materials, human resources, energy, machinery

258
Q

Throughputs

A

production processes, service, training

259
Q

Outputs/Feedback

Open Systems Theory

A

products, services, knowledge

260
Q

Negative Entropy

Open Systems Theory

A

all forms of organization move towards disorganization or death, so orgs must avoid this movement

261
Q

What does the negative feedback provide?

A

The negative feedback loop provides information about where and how the organization is getting off-course; therefore, they could correct or adjust the course

262
Q

Equifinality

Open Systems Theory

A

a system can reach the same end state in different ways (there isn’t just one way to achieve a particular outcome)

263
Q

What are surviving open systems characterized by?

A

Surviving open systems are characterized by a balance in energy exchange

264
Q

Where does open systems move toward?

A

Open systems move toward more specialized functions

265
Q

What is open systems doing to the organization?

A

Bringing the system together as a unified process is necessary for the system to continue

266
Q

According to open systems, what are the most effective organizations?

A

The most effective organizations are those that are able to adapt to their environment

267
Q

Static Environments

A

relatively stable or predictable

268
Q

Dynamic Environment

A

constant state of fluidity or fluctuations

269
Q

Contingency Theory

A

+ The “it depends” theory
+ Behavior must be selected to fit the particular circumstance
+ This answers the problem of both classical and neoclassical theories

270
Q

What are the different contingency theories?

A
  1. Joan Woodward’s Contingency Model
  2. Lawrence and Lorsch’s Model
  3. Fiedler’s Contingency Model
  4. Mintzberg’s Contingency Model
271
Q

Joan Woodward’s Contingency Model

A

for maximal performance, org structure needed to match the type of production technology
+ producers of small batches of specialty products required a span of control that was moderate in size and a short chain of command
+ Mass Production, large span of control and long chain of command
+ Continuous process, largest span of control

272
Q

What are the three types of manufacturers according to Joan Woodward’s Contingency Model?

A
  1. Small-batch
  2. Mass production
  3. Continuous production
273
Q

What does the Joan Woodward’s Contingency Model deal with?

A

Deals only with manufacturing organizations

274
Q

Lawrence and Lorsch’s Model

A

+ asserted that two processes determine the company’s ability to keep up with external changes: differentiation and integration
+ Depends on the environment of the company

275
Q

What does Lawrence and Lorsch’s Model propose?

A

proposed that the stability of the environment dictates the most effective form of organization

276
Q

Mechanistic Organization (Lawrence and Lorsch’s Model)

A

an organization that depends on formal rules and regulations, makes decisions at higher levels of the organization and has smaller spans of control (for stable environments)

277
Q

Organic Organization (Lawrence and Lorsch’s Model)

A

organization with a large span of control, less formalized procedures, and decision making at middle levels (for unstable environments)

278
Q

Differentiation (Lawrence and Lorsch’s Model)

A

complexity of the org structure – number of units, various orientations and philosophies of the managers, and the goals and interests of the organization’s members

279
Q

Integration (Lawrence and Lorsch’s Model)

A

amount and quality of collaboration

280
Q

Fiedler’s Contingency Model

A

any individual’s leadership style is effective only in certain situations

281
Q

Mintzberg’s Contingency Model

A

+ argued that one could describe an organization by looking at several categories of characteristics
+ the key mechanism used by the organization for coordinating its efforts
+ functions and roles of people in the organization
+ the context in which the organization operates
+ the priority level depends on the goals

282
Q

Basic Forms of Coordination

A
  1. Mutual Adjustments based on Informal Comms
  2. Direct Supervision
  3. Standardization of Work Process
  4. Standardization of KSAOs
  5. Standardization of Outputs
  6. Standardization of norms (Culture)
