Organization Theory - 28


In the earlier blog, we concluded our discussion about the various dimensions of organization structure. In our pursuit of understanding organization, it would be important to understand the concept of environment. We begin this journey of understanding the concept of environment from this blog and continue this over the next few blogs.

Simply put, environment could be defined as something that exists outside the boundaries of an organization!

Surely, this definition looks vague and needs some more thought. We could better understand it when we look at it from 3 different angles
  • Inter-organizational network
  • General Environment
  • International/Global Environment

Over the next few blogs, we will look at these and understand them better.
