Organizational Information • General Systems Theory • Systems (whether mechanical or social) consist of lots of variables and their relationships • Lots of variables: as opposed to the something, anything approach to social problems, or to unanticipatedconsequences • Lots of relationships: multiple links, interactions, time delays, feedback loops, periodicity
Applying GST to Org. Info. Processing • Organizations are made up of interrelated and interacting parts, i.e., they are systems. • Information coordinates the action of the parts of the system (Cybernetics) • Controls on information processing occur via information and control loops: • Feedback – responding to stimulus • Projection – looking at future trends, etc. • Validation – making sure inputs and outputs are appropriate
