Changing Organization
I. THE CHANGING ORGANIZATION Our world is filled with organizations. We put our children into day-care organizations. We work at for-profit or not-for-profit organizations. We rely on organizations to deliver the services we need: food, water, electricity, and sanitation. We depend on health organizations when we are sick. We use religious organizations to help our spiritual lives. We assume that most of our children’s education will be delivered by formal educational organizations. In other words, organizations are everywhere. Organizations are how we get things done.
