Understanding Organizations and Systems

An organization is defined as both a technical, stable formal structure that takes in resources from the environment and processes them to produce outputs, and as a behavioral collection of rights and responsibilities that is balanced over time through conflict. Michael discusses five key competitive forces that organizations face: 1) traditional competitors 2) new market entrants 3) substitute products 4) customers 5) suppliers. Routines and business processes are developed to efficiently handle expected situations, while information systems and technology are important tools for greater productivity, such as Walmart's supplier links to stores for superior replenishment.
