THE ATTAINMENT OF ORGANIZATION GOALS THROUGH APPROPRIATE SELECTION OF SUB-UNIT GOALS,

Abstract

This paper is concerned with two approaches to organizational behavior, both of which possess a fairly high degree of internal consistency. The disparities which exist between these two bodies of thought, however, appear to exceed the level of a multi-faceted approach to a problem that might be considered to have beneficial results. While these disparities cover the entire area of organizational research, the emphasis is on the problems of organizational control - i.e., the coordination of the activities of various subunits in the organization in order to attain the aims of the organization as a whole.
