1. Closed Systems
Organization is the one that is self-sufficient and its operations are not influenced by external influences like competition, economy, suppliers or external resources. However such autonomous entities that are isolated from outside ideally do not exists. Ex: Government funded initiatives like space and defense organizations which are not much influenced by changes in Govt. or economy.
2.
Open Systems
An open system interacts with and adapts to the environment by consuming resources and exporting product and services to it. Issues involved are more complex due to interdependence of various elements. Ex: Bank take deposits, convert these deposits into loans & other investments, use the resulting profits for their maintenance

Organizational design
Is there a best way to organize?
NO!!! All ways of organizing are not equally effective The organizational structure will depend on:
The task structure The environmental conditions
Resource availability Task deadlines
Organization design is all about intimately concerned with the way in which decision making is centralized, shared or delegated & with the way the enterprise is governed.
IBM
Good example of how failing to change organizational design can be fatal When IBM introduced the System/360 mainframe, they created a bureaucratic structure to manage the complexity However, the bureaucracy ran amok
Too many meetings and decisions delayed Did not take advantage of technology it created All committee members has to agree to decisions
IBM
New IBM today Rather than trying to sell PCs, they tapped into the goldmine of selling electronic business services services, hardware, software and know-how that can address any IT dilemma New network organizational design dropped the old bureaucratic model
