HOORCOLLEGE 1 Introductie
Organisations
- social entitles
- goal-directed
- designed as systems of activities (structured and coordinated, not random)
- connected to external environment
BV Philips wants to make the world healthier + more sustainable
Different types
- SIZE: large, international organisations vs family businesses (size)
large: have to work international >more rules, local businesses: in local community
- GOAL
profit: earning money
non-profit: generating some kind of social impact
→ different function / influence on environment
Different behaviour / structure in the organisations
MANY CHALLENGES
> globalization
(challenge, but also opportunity (access to products)
moving to other places, vb gaming companies: places all around the world)
2
,> speed of responsiveness
(are you able to adapt to what the customer wants. Dealing with changes in the environment)
> ethics and social responsibility
(gevolg van handelingen voor jouw bedrijf in omgeving)
> virtual/digital workplace
> diversity
(biedt mogelijkheden dingen anders te doen, maar kunnen ook juist slechter gaan)
Voordelen van organisaties
- Brengen middelen bijeen om gewenste doelen en uitkomsten te bereiken
- Produceren goederen en diensten op efficiënte wijze
- Maken innovatie mogelijk
- Gebruiken moderne productietechnologie en informatietechnologie
- Passen zich aan en beïnvloeden de omgeving
- Creëren waarde voor hun eigenaren, klanten en medewerkers
- Pakken uitdagingen op, zoals: diversiteit, ethiek, de motivatie en coördinatie van medewerkers.
ORGANIZATION STUDIES -> not concerned with organisation alone
what happens between the organisations (interaction with themselves and external creating
structures that work for the organisation/environment)
BIGGEST ISSUES
> diversity and appreciation of female top talent, organizational and societal issues of diversity and
inclusion
> UN sustainable development goals / grand challenges
> platforms & ecosystems (system where companies exist together,
multiple parts → multiple ideas → innovation,
> novel technologies such as Al Blockchain (banking system as a way to control the account)
> corona
Challenges studying organizations
-- context, where (bv china works different than the Netherlands, different norms/behavior/..
-- time → specific dynamic that shape organizational life and activity
(vb: Transport US → NL took longer in 1900 than in 2010, internet = !)
-- audience → different interests
looking towards for different reasons and solutions for problems
-- scope → what are we in/excluding
1 Biggest distinction (onderscheiding) = micro vs macro level
specific levels between those – relevant distinctions + provide demarcations (afbakeningen)
BUT:
different interaction between the different levels
2 Type of social system (people who share a common social order and culture)
Open vs closed system>

, Gestileerde wijze → Je focust op een aantal zaken en niet kijken naar het algemene.
Structuren en processen vormen de basiselementen van een organisatie.
- De structuur geeft aan met wie wordt gewerkt.
- Het proces geeft aan hoe er vervolgens gewerkt wordt.
Organisation as a social system
OPEN (organisation + context, environment): interdependent activities, dependent on continuing
exchange with and constituted by the environment
→ pays attention to environment of organisations
CLOSED (organisation himself): no consideration on the capacity to influence elements that lie
beyond it
environment is more or less given
VB: Looking at the number of increased iPods
closed -> focus on labour productivity, numbers of worked hours,..
open ->increase in demand on the market,..
Open or close: refers to the subject they are researching
RATIONAL – iedereen 1 vaste taak, formal structures of organisation (group people working together
to pursue goals) – zakelijke structuur
NATURAL - deze taken moeten worden gedaan, vrijheid (informal, interpersonal structures = !,
multiple interests/consensus-building/conflictual processes drives actions)
How happy are employees
at work
- function of task
- function of social
dynamics in group
- function of mission of
organization (are they
proud to work there?)
-- different for everybody
Organization studies – different ways to look at it
