to do to ensure survival, and (2) principles for designing
organizational structures in such a way that they can realize the
required functions adequately. In the course of their elaboration,
we will show that these principles are general - i.e., that they
hold for all organizations. 1.5 Conceptual Background To describe
organizations as social systems conducting experiments and to
present principles for designing an infrastructure supporting the
"social experiment," we use concepts from (organizational)
cybernetics, social systems theory, and Aristotle's ethics. In this
book, we hope to show that concepts from these traditions - as
introduced by their relevant representatives - can be integrated
into a framework supporting our perspective on organizations. To
this purpose, we introduce, in each of the following chapters,
relevant concepts from an author "belonging" to one of these three
traditions and show how these concepts contribute to describing
organizations as social experiments (in Part I of the book), to
formulating principles for the design of functions and organization
structures supporting meaningful survival (Part II), and to
formulating principles for the design of organization structures
enabling the rich sense of meaningful survival (Part III). Of
course, the relevance of cybernetics, social systems theory and
Aristotle's ethics can only be understood in full, after they have
been treated in more detail - but based on what we said above, it
may already be possible to see why these theories have been chosen
as conceptual background.
