Front 1

Systemic approach
(context and assumption)

Context- complexity and uncertainty
Assumption- limited rationality

Front 4

System

Back 4

consists of a whole set of interacting elements in which each contributes to the common objective or finality of the system

Front 5

Systemic approach

Back 5

consists of adopting a method, which, instead of seizing the various parts separately, tackles the components of the system in a total way, while being particularly interested in their connections and their interactions... aims at understanding how each element contributes to functionality of the system

Front 6

Systematic approach of organizations

COFRCNS

Back 6

COMPLEX- belongs to unforseeable, nonlinear, non determinism
OPEN- exchanges permanently with the environment
FINALIZED- components contribute to objectives of teh whole, each component keeping its own specificities and its own objectives
RELATIONAL- various components are related
COMPREHENSIVE- each component is a subsystem of comprehensive system
NEED FOR VARIETY- capacity to adapt to modifications
SELF-REGARDING- arises from meeting between finality and variety

Front 7

Principles of systems of organizations

ITRHES

Back 7

INTERACTION- can't understand an element without context
TOTALITY- whole is more than sum of the parts
RETROACTION- circular causality
HOMOESTASIE- pushes individual to reporduced what worked in the past
EQUI-FINALITY- one can reach same final state, goal, from different starting points of in different ways
SELF-ORGANIZATION- capacity to adapt changes

Front 8

Sytematic approach in efficient organizations

Back 8

Efficient organization reaches objectives and forms coherent whole, able to answer constraints and contributions of environment

Interested in interactions between subsystems and coherence

Front 9

Analysis of organizations

Back 9

Efficiency depends on performance of each components, their coherence, and the adaptation to constraints of the environment

Front 10

Culture in systematic approach

Back 10

Culture is a subsystem
Culture acts on system in it globally

Front 11

Finality and sense (why and for what)

Back 11

Context of globalization, complexity and uncertainty leads to a level of centralization

PROBLEMS- disinterest from "center" to seize the reality and specificities of subsidiaries who are forced to privelege the very short term to justify results

OCCUPIED WITH THE PROCESSES- lose sense and people don't know why and for what they work

Front 12

Finality and Sense making

Back 12

Finality- long term vision

Sense- culture

Front 13

Coherence

Back 13

Vision to local actions
