Towards flexible organizations: A multidimensional design
Rl Ackoff
Omega, 1977, vol. 5, issue 6, 649-662
Abstract:
The author considers one way by which the readiness, willingness, and ability of organizations to change themselves can be increased. Specifically, he considers how organizations can be designed to be more flexible and, therefore, more capable of being changed and changing themselves. Flexibility does not guarantee adaptability but it is essential for it.
