Contents:
Section I. General Systems Theory and Systems Analysis -- Section II. Organizational System Theory -- Section III. Organizational Environments -- Section IV. Intraorganizational Systems -- Section V. Interorganizational System Relations -- Section VI. System Theory and Organizational Management -- Section VII. Evaluation of organizational Systems.
Summary: The Assumption that organizations can most usefully be viewed as open systems having properties in common with other living systems has in recent years been gaining widespread acceptance. Although there is as yet no single generally accepted specific theory of organizational systems, I believe the time is ripe for pulling together the best of the work done so far and presenting it in a useful format for the wide audience concerned with applying general systems concepts to the study and management of complex organizations. That is the purpose of this book.
