THE SYSTEMS APPROACHDuring the 1960s, management researchers began to analyze organizations from a sys-tems perspective, a concept taken from the physical sciences. A system is a set of inter-related and interdependent parts arranged in a manner that produces a unifiedwhole. The two basic types of systems are closed and open. Closed systems are notinfluenced by and do not interact with their environment. In contrast, open systemsdynamically interact with their environment. Today, when we describe organizationsas systems, we mean open systems. Exhibit 2-6 shows a diagram of an organizationfrom an open systems perspective. As you can see, an organization takes in inputs(resources) from the environment and transforms or processes these resources intooutputs that are distributed into the environment. The organization is "open" to andinteracts with its environment.
The Systems Approach and Managers
How does the systems approach contribute to our understanding of management?Researchers envisioned an organization as being made up of "interdependent factors,including individuals, groups, attitudes, motives, formal structure, interactions, goals,status, and authority. What this means is that as managers coordinate work activitiesin the various units of the organization, they ensure that all these interdependentunits are working together so that the organizations goals can be achieved. For exam-ple, the systems approach would recognize that, no matter how efficient the produc-tion department might be, if the marketing department doesnt anticipate changes incustomer tastes and work with the product development department in creating prod-ucts customers want, the organizations overall performance will suffer.
In addition, the systems approach implies that decisions and actions taken in oneorganizational area will affect others and vice versa. For example, if the purchasingdepartment doesnt acquire the right quantity and quality of inputs, the productiondepartment will not be able to do its job effectively.
