The Organizational Dynamics :
An Overview

What is an organization?
a consciously coordinated social entity
with a relatively identifiable boundary
functions on a relatively continuous
basis
to achieve common goals

What do they do? How well do they do?

Points to Ponder

Without organization we couldn’t live like
what are today. Any comments?

Current Trends
Organizations now function in a global economy.
International expansion can provide a competitive
advantage:
– Entering different countries may provide large numbers of
potential customers.
– Building production facilities in countries with low-cost labor may
prove cost-efficient.
– The rapid increase in telecommunications and information
technology enables work to be done more rapidly, efficiently,
and effectively around the globe.

How do we know if an organization is successful?
What are the components of an effective
organization?
What determines the effectiveness of an
organization?
How is an effective organization designed?
What theory can be used to solve organization
problems, i.e. ineffective organization?
How does culture work?

ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
What is effectiveness? Is it different from
efficiency?
What does it mean “effectiveness is a necessary
condition for survival”? Can an organization die?
What are the parameters used to explain
organization effectiveness?

FOUR APPROACHES TO ORGANIZATION
EFFECTIVENESS
APPROACH

DEFINITION
An organization is effective to the extent
that it ….

WHEN USEFUL
The approach is preferred
when ….

GOAL ATTAINMENT

Accomplishes its stated goals

Goals are clear, time bound, and
measurable

SYSTEM

It acquires needed resources

A clear connection exists
between inputs and outputs

STRATEGIC
CONSTITUENCIES

All strategic constituencies are at least
minimally satisfied

Constituencies have powerful
influence on the organization, and
the organization must repond to
their demands

COMPETING
VALUES

The emphasis of the organization in the four
major areas (i.e. return on investment, market
share, new-product innovation, job security)
matches constituent preferences

The organization is unclear about
its own emphases, or changes in
criteria over time are of interest
