De que falamos, quando falamos das organizações como sistemas?
Quando comecei a trabalhar com sistemas de gestão, quando comecei a usar e abusar do termo "sistema" não fazia ideia do quanto se escreve e se investiga sobre o tema. Assim, quando uma ISO 9000 define sistema como "conjunto de elementos interligados e interactuantes"... ehehehe a discussão, as correntes de investigação que se escondem por detrás... é literalmente, um admirável mundo (novo). Este artigo dá umas pistas interessantes para quem quiser aprofundar o tema "Towards an Understanding of Elusive Organizational Phenomena: Organizations as Complex Adaptive Systems" de Jad Bitar.
Por exemplo, este trecho onde se escreve sobre diferentes tipos de motores de transformação das organizações:
"Organizations have been described as socially constructed entities, collections of individuals assembled under a distinctive banner pursuing common goals (Scott, 1987; Selznick, 1957; Barnard, 1938). Hence organizational systems are essentially teleological, coordinating the efforts of several individuals to achieve specific goals such as financial, market or production objectives. In their review of the literature, Van De Ven and Poole (1995) identify four “building blocks” or motors that explain organizational change: life cycle, dialectic, evolution and teleology. These motors implicitly entail a minimum level of rationality: to plan the cycle, to synthesize from a thesis and antithesis, to select the right elements that maximize a function and to identify the goals to go after, respectively. This suggests that organizational change is necessary conscious and purposeful, it is regulated somewhat rationally to adjust the organizational system’s activities towards its mission."
