Organisational Theory 
- Share to:
In a knowledge society, companies are challenged by technology leaps, slides in values and globalization. Heavy demands are placed on the management and the organization: Both radical, innovative thinking and disciplined action in response to challenges.
Too much self-satisfaction can be a large barrier in taking up these challenges. Sources of self-satisfaction are e.g. unconcerned management, staff ’s ability to deny facts, organizational culture, lacking performance feedback from external sources, internal assessment systems, organizational structure, low performance standards, too many visible resources, and the absence of a large, visible crisis. These challenges place demands on future organizations. Self-satisfaction may be the greatest obstacle in taking the first step in the process of change.
Furthermore, management is becoming more important and more difficult than earlier as organizations are becoming more important than production equipment. It is no longer enough to invest in new technology, and implement effective production processes. Many companies can do that. It is about who is the best, when it comes to mobilizing the organization’s energy and individual talents and controlling the necessary challenges.
