Prelim Question 2

An organization may adopt a closed-system or open-system model. Answer the following:

1. Discuss the pro's and con's of each model.
----- A closed system is a system which tries to keep its structure and its policies even when they don't fit the surrounding environment. every firm may become a closed system when it gets caged by its past success , unwilling to examine new information. even a person may become a closed system when they hold strong schemata, stereotypes, categories which are not open to a new scanning. Broadly speaking a new system is a system doesn't look into new information thoroughly because there's kind of mental filler which makes the system analyze just the information which confirm the old schemata. An open system is a flexible, open to new information and able to internet with the environment, moreover which is part of the environment. Its comprehensive and interacting part of it.

2. Cite a company that uses any of this model. Describe briefly how this chosen model affect the entire company.
-----Many small firms including Halvan or American cluster uses this ability. The Linux computer operating system, for instance is an open source and Red Hat Inc. the corporation, selling the bundled revisions the multiple inputs from geographically dispersed users represents an organization that would cease to exist if it were not an open system perspective. Thus stable environment with low complexity are more consistent with flexible decentralized or organic management styles.

3. Evaluate how an environment affects the organization and its management. Discuss the pro's and con's of not responding to the demands of the environment.
----- Closed system versus open system do not represent a dichotomy, but rather a continuum along which organizations are more open or less open to their environments.
Environment affects the organization and its managemen because, some organizations consume raw materials in the production of products and emit finished goods and pollution as a result.
