Systems Theory
Systems theory views an organization as a complex set of dynamically
intertwined and interconnected elements, including its inputs, processes, outputs,
feedback loops, and the environment in which it operates and with which it continuously
interacts. This means that if there is a change in any element of the system, it can
cause changes in other elements. There is an interconnection of elements which tend to
be complex, dynamic, and often unknown. Systems theorists study these
interconnections, frequently using organizational decision processes and information
and control systems as their focal points for analysis.
Systems theories tend to be multidimensional and complex in their assumptions
about organizational cause-and-effect relationships. They see organizations as
continually changing processes of interactions among organizational and environmental
elements.
