Perspectives of organizational effectiveness

perspectives on organizational effectiveness.
Open systems perspective: Organizations depend on the external environment for

and expectations of external environment.

closely within the shifting environment.

Innovativeness: Designing products and work processes that are
superior to what competitors can offer.
Coordination: Organizations rely on coordinating mechanisms to
maintain the effects.
Organisational learning perspective: Organizational effectiveness depends on the
organization’s capacity to acquire, share, use and store valuable knowledge.
o Intellectual capital: Stock of knowledge.
Human capital: Knowledge, skills and abilities that employees carry
around in their heads.
Structural capital: Knowledge captured and retained in an
organization’s systems and structures -> documents and products.
Relationship capital: Value derived from an organization’s
relationship with customers, suppliers and others.
o Organizational learning processes:

well as through discovery.
Sharing: Distributing knowledge throughout the organization → formal
and informal communication.

processes.
Storing: Process of retaining knowledge → organizational memory.

several workplace practices that leverage the potential of human capital.

adaptability.

External stakeholders: Customers, suppliers and society.
o Values: Evaluative beliefs that guide a person’s preferences for outcomes or
courses of action in a variety of situations.
o Ethics: Moral principles or values that determine whether actions are right or
wrong and outcomes are good or bad.
