ABSTRACT
As we have seen, interest in organizational change is currently fashionable because, for many firms, changing environments and technology makes corresponding company organizational changes a necessity. It has even been argued that the sheer rapidity of social change itself and the increasing complexity of organizational environments necessitates frequent organizational change. On these grounds Bennis argues that bureaucracy will be replaced by ‘organic-adaptive structures’, that is, ‘adaptive, rapidly changing temporary systems of diverse specialists linked together by co-ordinating and task-evaluating specialists in an organic flux’.
