Organizations as Instruments of Social Change in Postindustrial Societies
从两个视角审视组织与社会的关系:社会对组织的影响,以及组织对社会资源的分配作用,指出组织是社会变革的关键支点。
There are two ways of looking at the relationship between organizations and society. One features the impact of society on the organization, the social environment; the other attends to the impact on society of the organization and its appetite for resources. The first shows organizations lagging in their cultural prescriptions, the second shows them leading. Both are right. The relationship is circular. Because the work organization, is the principal agent of distribution of society's resources, both material and immaterial, it is a splendid fulcrum for a sociotechnical Archimedes.
