Summary

 Organisations are open complex systems. The four major elements of

among organisation are:

i. Goals,

ii. Structure,

iii. Technology and

iv. People

 In the initial stages, when the new organisation is being created as a

viable unit, the style of management will be adhoc and entrepreneurial.

As the organisation becomes bigger, with larger numbers of people and

more operational activities, procedures will become more formal.

 The context of the organisation encompasses everything within and

outside the organisation. The context determines the need for and

direction of change.
