Download or read book Organizations and Environments written by Howard Aldrich and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Organizations and Environments was originally issued in 1979, it increased interest in evolutionary explanations of organizational change. Since then, scholars and practitioners have widely cited the book for its innovative answer to this question: Under what conditions do organizations change? Aldrich achieves theoretical integration across 13 chapters by using an evolutionary model that captures the essential features of relations between organizations and their environments. This model explains organizational change by focusing on the processes of variation, selection, retention, and struggle. The "environment," as conceived by Aldrich, does not refer simply to elements "out there"beyond a set of focal organizationsbut rather to concentrations of resources, power, political domination, and most concretely, other organizations. Scholars using Aldrich's model have examined the societal context within which founders create organizations and whether those organizations survive or fail, rise to prominence, or sink into obscurity. A preface to the reprinted edition frames the utility of this classic for tomorrow's researchers and businesspeople.

Download or read book Complexity Management Managing Organizations in Complex Environments written by Wael R. Khalil, Ph.d. and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the existing literature on organizational management tends to oversimplify the issue, distilling the occupation down to a handful of principles. But how many managers feel as though their daily work is that simple and straightforward? If you want a more detailed perspective on management in the midst of complex and turbulent environments, then this is the guide for you. In it, Wael Rushdi Khalil, PhD, brings his twenty-five years' experience in business strategy formulation and implementation, as well as his extensive research, to help managers and leaders optimize their approach for success. He illustrates conceptual frameworks from a dynamic, strategic perspective that encompass a structured set of valuable principles and sub-elements. The presented examples and data are based on his research on the construction industry in Qatar, with Grade A companies and their managers who were engaged at the strategic level. It is an exploratory study, both quantitative and qualitative in approach, which illuminates comprehensive solutions that allow managers and practitioners to lead their organizations and firms through uncertain situations and complex environments to greater success!
Download or read book Multiteam Systems written by Stephen J. Zaccaro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-22 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines an emerging organizational form called the multi-team system (MTS). This type of aggregation is being increasingly adopted by organizations and agencies that need to respond to complex strategic problems. There has been increasing interest in MTSs over the last decade to the point where there is now a need to (a) describe these organizational forms more fully, (b) build conceptual frames that can guide research, and (c) begin developing tools to improve the study of MTSs. The purpose of this book is to respond to these needs. The book contains a series of chapters that expand prior conceptual frames of MTSs, defining in more detail the compositional and linkage attributes that characterize such units. The book also explores how such systems emerge and develop, as well as the methods for studying MTSs. The intent of the book is to establish and nurture a strong conceptual and methodological foundation that can guide research and practice with MTSs. Because the notion of MTSs cuts across multiple domains, this book will interest scholars in industrial/organizational psychology, organizational science, management and organizational theory, human factors, sociology, organization communications, and public administration.

Download or read book Complex Organizations written by Richard H. Hall and published by Dartmouth Publishing Company. This book was released on 1995 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of complex organizations was largely descriptive until the 1960s. Conceptual and methodological developments then led to comparative analyses of complex organizations. These were comparisons across organizations at that time and are now comparative on a cross-national basis. Just as the comparative analyses were getting up to full speed, analysts began to realize that they were not including a very important element in their analyses. This element was the environment in which organizations were operating. Soon thereafter, other analysts began to point out that there were many activities carried out in and around organizations that were not based on strict rational models and that organizations developed their own systems of meanings. The dominant thrust at present is to try to develop theoretical explanations which work in combination with each other. This book traces these developments with the major articles of the times.
Download or read book Understanding Complexity in Organizations written by Timothy Ludwig and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations are complex entities that must adapt the practices of their employees and management to meet the demands of a dynamic environment. Organizations are behavioral systems that coordinate interactions among its members and environment. Changing practices in one area of an organization can generate a reaction throughout the entire system, thus affecting the behaviors of those working within other areas, the experience of customers, and important organizational results. Behavioral Systems Analysis (BSA) focuses on these complex contingencies from the macro system all the way down to individual behavior. This book contains articles by internationally recognized experts in Behavioral Systems Analysis who discuss the role of organizational practices in their study of performance improvement and cultural change from both practical and conceptual perspectives. Business and non-profit managers will find tools and case studies to help understand and diagnose their organization’s dynamics. Scholars will appreciate articles’ theory and real-world descriptions when considering their own research direction. Finally, all students of management theory, behavior analysis, and human resources will find this collection a thought-provoking tool for their understanding of behavioral systems and their application in organizations. This book was published as a special issue in the Journal of Organizational Behavior Management.
