    Summary:

    This chapter discusses organizations, organizational theory, and the importance of organizational design. An organization is a tool for individuals or groups to accomplish goals. An organization creates value at three stages: input, conversion, and output. Organizations exist because people working together to produce goods and services create more value than those working alone. Organizations may exist to increase specialization and the division of labor, to use large-scale technology, to manage the external environment, to economize on transaction costs, and to exert power and control over employees.

    The components of organizational theory are structure, culture, and design and change. Organizational design helps a company gain a competitive advantage, deal with contingencies, manage diversity, increase efficiency, and increase innovation. Poor organizational design results in company decline, including layoffs and difficulty in attracting resources.

    Organizational effectiveness (the ability to use resources to create VALUE) should be measured according to a manager’s methods of control, innovation, and efficiency. The external resource, internal systems, or technical approach measure effectiveness and official and operative goals. Difficulties arise in measuring effectiveness even if stakeholders have shared goals. An organization must select the best way to achieve goals. Organizations are affected by the environment, technology, and processes.  The technological environment entails innovations in production processes and new products. 

    Measuring Organizational effectiveness: the following are 4 different approaches to measure org. effectiveness:
    1- Resource-Based Approach.  Obtaining the right and necessary resources.
    2- Internal Process Approach.   Focusses on the org. internal activities. 
    3- Goal-Based Approach.          Concerns with the output and achieving org. goals.
    4- Stakeholders' Approach.       Focusses on the satisfaction of the stakeholders.
