Vicious Circles in Organizations
从行动理论和控制论出发,分析组织中恶性循环的动态、聚集和生存机会,指出许多结构性问题如绩效不佳、停滞或衰退是由恶性循环引起的。
Michael Masuch This paper explores vicious circles in organizations. Departing from some elementary notions of action theory and cybernetics, it analyzes the dynamics, the clustering, and the survival chances of vicious circles. It argues that the action perspective, taken to its logical conclusion, implies that many structural suboptimalities of organizations, such as underperformance, stagnation, or decay, are caused by vicious circles.*
