ATTRIBUTES OF A SYSTEM

• System in an org is Open/Adapt to changes

• Local autonomy at sub units relates to style of m’ment
• Sub units interlinked by communication structures
• Negative feed back occurs when deviation
• Positive when system reinforces current action
• Control systems control key variables
• Control system reduces entropy ( tendency to go chaotic)
• Control designed to handle probs which are uncertain
• System allow variety of behaviour to accommodate alternative states of
environment
