| Abstract: | Organizations should be viewed less as static entities and more as a set of processes to become something else. The process approach for designing organizations to become more productive, adaptable and efficient focuses on these many processes in order to derive the Organizational Architecture. The process approach emphasizes how things occur and avoids teleological reasoning. This and some other necessary intellectual commitments are described and analyzed. The process approach is proving to be an efficient and effective means for building a theory about organizational behavior. The concept of combined congruency is introduced. It is shown how this concept can be used in the Organizational Audit and Analysis technology for organizational design. |
