Organizational behavior can be understood as the study of individual behavior and group dynamics in organizations. The studies about human behavior are influenced by two types of perspectives:
- Internal: the behavior is influenced by factors inside the person, thoughts, feelings, past experiences, and is generally psychodynamics.
- External: the behavior is influenced by environmental forces to which a person is subject
VERSUS
Organizations are entities, for that reason they change, like any natural entity that has to adapt itself to his environment, organizations if wanting to have a future must adapt themselves to their own changing environment.

ResponderEliminarthe comparison between both the organizational and individual behavior is well though but i think is lacking some more explications.
also i have a discrepancy with the statement that all the organizations have to adapt to their environment, as a personal belief i think that some organizations have reached a complexity level that might transform them into a whole new environment, or maybe, because of their size they can modify it at will.
still i liked a lot the blog, is well written and has some solid arguments, is just lacking some length but since it's a blog...
