ENVIRONMENTAL SCHOOL OF THOUGHT

Sept. 22, 2016

•Environment is defined as all elements that exist outside the boundary of the organization and have the potential to affect all or part of the organization •Environment is an actor, rather than a factor•A reactive process•Strategy as a response

Premises(Mintzberg, et al,1998)

Sept. 22, 2016

•The environment, presenting itself to the organization as a set of general forces, is the central actor in the strategy making process. •The organization must respond to these forces, or else be "selected out."

• Leadership thus becomes a passive element for purposes of reading the environment and ensuring proper adaptation by the organization.

•Organizations end up clustering together in distinct ecological type niches, positions where they remain until resources become scarce or conditions too hostile. Then they die.
