Chapter Chapter 2 in Organisational Adaptations, 2018, pp 11-26 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Business does not operate in vacuum. It operates in the ambit of environment. Organisation environment has been described as the aggregate of tangible and intangible factors that impact on the decision-making behaviours of individuals in the organisations (Duncan, 1972; Fahey & Narayanan, 1986; Frishammar, 2006; Rosenzweig & Singh, 1991). "These [organisations] systems change and reorganize their component parts to adapt themselves to the problems posed by their surroundings. This is the main reason the systems are difficult to understand and control. They constitute a 'moving target'. [Holland, 1992:18, emphasis added]
