| Abstract: | Much of the literature on organizational control processes has traditionally been based on concepts of cybernetics, power, and authority. An alternative way of looking at the control phenomenon is explored by introducing the idea of an evolutionary "controlling" cycle. This idea is derived by modifying the basic organizing cycle (enactment, selection, retention) to a hierarchical form, with two distinct components. The model is then applied to understand the basic control modes informing markets, bureaucracies and clans. In conclusion some comments are given on the likely future directions of the bureaucratic mode of organizational control. |
