Chapter 1 | What are organizations?
Organization theory in action
Political economy of organizations: a theoretical framework that focuses on two
key concepts of organizations and their interaction:
3
, 1. Polity / political system: the constitution, or fundamental norms, of the
organization and the system of authority, power and influence.
2. Economy: the economic structures and processes of the organization; that
is, the system for processing and transforming raw materials into the
goods and services that the organization produces.
Current challenges
- Globalization (globalized production, fast communication, outsourcing
(descent payment, security, child labour, taxes))
- Ethics and social responsibility (ecological, financial)
- Responsiveness (environmental changes, technological changes,
organizational crises, shifting customer expectations, replacing of tangible
goods by increasing importance of knowledge)
- Digital workplace (computers, disintermediation, open information
sharing, digital relationships)
- Diversity (women, ethnic minorities, elder, immigrants, work-life balance,
managing diversity)
What is an organization?
Organizations: social entities that are goal-directed, that are designed as
deliberately structured and coordinated activity systems, and that are linked to
the external environment.
Types of organizations
- For profit
Retaining the confidence of shareholders, increase sales revenues.
- Non-profit
Securing funding, competing with profit-making businesses, no measurable
tangible goals.
- Social enterprise
Combining commercial activity generating revenue with the pursuit of
social goals.
Importance of organizations
Organizations are credited with:
1. Bringing together resources to achieve desired goals and outcomes.
2. Producing goods and services.
3. Facilitating innovation.
4. Harnessing modern manufacturing, service and information technologies.
5. Adapting to and influencing a changing environment.
6. Creating value.
7. Accommodating ongoing challenges of diversity, ethics and the
motivation and coordination of employees.
