The Organization’s Value System…
Must reflect that of the larger System
Must Legitimize its Goals in terms of Functional Significance
Must Legitimize the Primacy of its Goals over other Interests Can include “Money Return” as a Measure and Symbol of Success [But Not as the Primary Goal – Profit Making is not by itself a Function on Behalf of the Larger System]
