Describing the organization from an open systems perspective

Reference no: EM13733154

Instead of working on a published article about an organization and analyzing it, you will be writing your own article, piece by piece.

In each module you will analyze an organization from a systems perspective. In Module 1 we will draw on open systems theory; subsequent modules will examine various aspects of the 7-S model. In Module 5, you will combine and integrate all you have written before into a final project paper.

Each module's Case Assignment is predicated on your work in that respective SLP, so be sure to complete the SLP before you attempt the case.

Steps to complete this assignment:

Choose an organization to which you have complete access or one about which much has been written. The best reports will be able to draw on business or popular press articles, annual reports or other information produced in-house, published or personal interviews with CEO's and other managers, newspaper articles, etc. If you are in the military and are planning to retire to the private sector, I encourage you to choose a private-sector organization - this will give your project more value when transitioning into a new field.

Write a 3- to 4-page paper describing the organization from an open systems perspective. The superior paper will also draw on the Nadler/Tushman Congruence Framework. Do not attempt to analyze the organization from the 7-S Framework - that will come later.
