ABSTRACT:
There are two ways to examine the relationship between organizations & society. One way features the impact of society on the organization, the social environment; the other attends to the impact on society of the organization & its appetite for resources. The first shows organizations lagging in their cultural prescriptions, while the second shows them leading. Both are correct; the relationship is circular. Because the work organization is the principal agent of distribution of society's resources, both material & immaterial, it is a splendid fulcrum for a sociotechnical Archimedes. 1 Figure. HA
