Organizational EnvironmentOrganizational Environment
Modernist theory, the environment …
lies outside the boundary of the organization.
provides the organization with resources and absorbs its products and services.
imposes constraints upon and demands adaptation from the organization.

Organizational EnvironmentOrganizational Environment
Symbolic-Interpretivists suggest environments …
are social constructions.
organizational members construct environmental features they think are significant.
different organizations construct their environments differently based on management’s interpretation.

Managing the EnvironmentManaging the Environment
Buffering
Protecting the internal organizational environment
from environmental shocks.
Example: Material, labour, or capital shortages.

Stakeholder theoryStakeholder theory
Organizations operate under a social contract that guarantees certain rights to those who have a stake in the organization’s activities or outcomes. Those attending to stakeholder demands will be more successful.

Stakeholders: Any actor that affects or is affected by the organization.
Network actors:Investors, competitors, employees, media, suppliers, distributors, government, the physical environment, etc.

Environmental Contingency TheoryEnvironmental Contingency Theory
Successful organizations match their internal structure to environmental characteristics (dynamic or stable).
(Burns & Stalker, Lawrence & Lorsch)

Information Perspective on Uncertainty
Uncertainty is experienced by individuals when they make decisions, rather than in the environment itself.

Responding to UncertaintyResponding to Uncertainty
The Law of Requisite Variety (General Systems Theory)For one system to deal effectively with another it must be of the same or greater complexity.
IsomorphismThe organization takes on the same formas its environment.

Resource Dependence TheoryResource Dependence Theory
Analysis of the interorganizational network can help the organization understand the power/dependence relationships that exist between it and other network actors.
![Page 27: ORGANIZATION AND ENVIRONMENT](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081605/54314b568d7f72ca028b4fe5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Power and DependencePower and DependenceAn organization depends on resources
controlled by the environment.
The environment therefore has power over an organization and can influence decision
making.

Managing Power/DependenceManaging Power/Dependence
Pfeffer and Salancik suggest prioritizing dependence elements according to :
CriticalityThe estimate of the importance
of a particular resource
ScarcityThe estimate of resource availability

Other Dependence Management Other Dependence Management StrategiesStrategies
• Vertical integration
• Horizontal integration
• Developing personal relationships
• Establishing formal ties with other firms
• Lobbying
• Marketing
*Your job as a manager: find the right mix of counter-dependencies you can create with those on whom you depend for critical, scarce, non-substitutable resources.
![Page 31: ORGANIZATION AND ENVIRONMENT](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081605/54314b568d7f72ca028b4fe5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Population EcologyPopulation Ecology
Organizations within an ecological niche are competitivelyinterdependent and compete for survival. Study how & why some organizations survive.
• Variation
• Selection
• Retention
• Operation at the level of the environment
![Page 32: ORGANIZATION AND ENVIRONMENT](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081605/54314b568d7f72ca028b4fe5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Population EcologyPopulation Ecology
The portion of the environment studied by population ecology is an ecological niche. Consisting of the resource pool upon which a group of competitors depends.
*Your job as a manager is to help your firm find a pool of resources over which it can compete successfully with other firms for its survival.
![Page 33: ORGANIZATION AND ENVIRONMENT](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081605/54314b568d7f72ca028b4fe5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Darwin and OrganizationsDarwin and Organizations
Variation: Entrepreneurial innovation that gives birth to new organizations as well as adaptation of existing firms.
Selection: Organizations that best fit the needs and demands of their niche are supported with resources.
Retention: Organizational survival and fitness are maintained through the flow of resources.
Darwin’s survival of the fittest principle helps to explain the dynamics of populations of
organizations:

Institutional Theory Institutional Theory (Selznick)(Selznick)
Organizations adapt to both the values of the internal groups and external society
![Page 37: ORGANIZATION AND ENVIRONMENT](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081605/54314b568d7f72ca028b4fe5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Institutional Theory Institutional Theory (DiMaggio & Powell)(DiMaggio & Powell)
An organization is institutionalized by the following contexts:
1. Technical, Economic, or Physicale.g. production and exchange of
goods in a market
2. Social, Cultural, Legal, or Politicale.g. conforming to norms, values, rules, and beliefs upheld by society.
![Page 38: ORGANIZATION AND ENVIRONMENT](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081605/54314b568d7f72ca028b4fe5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Institutional PressuresInstitutional Pressures
Coercive: Pressure to conform that comes from the government in the form of rules or laws.
Normative: Pressure from cultural expectations.
Mimetic: The desire of one organization to look like another. Usually used as a response to uncertainty.
![Page 39: ORGANIZATION AND ENVIRONMENT](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081605/54314b568d7f72ca028b4fe5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Social LegitimacySocial Legitimacy
Institutional environments reward organizations for adopting acceptable practices and structures. Without this acceptance, organizations can be driven out of business.
Your job as a manager is to to help your firm mimic practices indicated by the institutional environment through coercion or normative expectation in order to ensure its social legitimacy.

Enacted Environment Enacted Environment (Weick)(Weick)
The conditions of the environment cannot be separated from managers perceptions of those conditions.
When decision makers respond to their perceptions they enact the environment they anticipated.

Encouraging multiple interpretations of goals, vision, and actions to produce different
strategies.

Burns’s Three Phases of IndustrializationBurns’s Three Phases of Industrialization
Phase 1: Simple manufacturing – British textile factories
Phase 2: Complex manufacturing – clothing, food, chemical processing, iron and steel factories
Phase 3: Supply outstrips demand, competition increases, search for global markets puts focus on consumer, all employees must contribute to economic success

Post-Industrialism Post-Industrialism (Bell)(Bell)
Society is organized around the creation of knowledge and uses of information.
Society is shaped by its method of acquiring and distributing knowledge.

Avoiding HegemonyAvoiding Hegemony
Hegemony is the practice of interpreting the interests of the ruling class as universal.
- Surface language that implies the dominance of one group over others.
- Give voice to others.
