System and contingency concepts have become key considerations in the study of organization and management. A systems philosophy is a way of thinking about complex human endeavors. It facilitates recognition of the context within which organizations operate and emphasizes understanding the interrelationships among the various activities that are required to accomplish goals. A contingency view is a way of thinking about managing organizational endeavor. It facilitates situational diagnosis that leads to managerial action that is appropriate in specific circumstances. In this edition we have continued to develop the open-system model as an overall framework for understanding organizations and their management. We have illustrated contingency view throughout our discussion of the various organizational subsystems.
