Information transmission in viable systems

J. D. R. de Raadt

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1990, vol. 41, issue 2, 111-120

Abstract: This article examines the process of information transmission in adaptive, viable organizational systems. Beer's viable system model is used to explain a system's information requirement at each time of the adaptation process, the source of this information and the effect of information transmission on a system's cohesion. Four hypotheses are stated and tested empirically with data collected among insurance agents in Australia. © 1990 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
