Explain what an organization is.

Description

Explain what an organization is. A wide range of theoretical perspectives and frameworks provide different answers to this fundamental definitional question. Use the following four theoretical frameworks to answer this question and compare and contrast the definitions: “Organic Organizational Structure”, “Mechanistic Organizational Structure”, “Hybrid Organizational Structure”, and “Kurt Lewin’s Change Theory (as it pertains to Organizational Development)”. How are the definitions impacted or changed if we look at public agencies, non-profit organizations, or private firms? Your response should analyze, synthesize, and evaluate major themes or issues in organizational theory and development through the perspective of your course work and current profession or career. The analysis is required to be 3 pages in length, prepared according to APA Style, supported by a minimum of ten scholarly sources, and synthesize your scholarly perspective regarding organizational theory. Note to author: Please make sure 7 of the scholarly sources are journal articles (if possible). Also, this assignment must be 100% original without any semblances of previously used content and must be unique to my specifications, too.
