Diagnosing the System for Organizations

In his book Diagnosing the System for Organizations, Stafford Beer states that "An organization is viable if it can survive in a particular sort of environment" (page 1). According to the author, this book "represents a new way of looking at organizational structure" (page i). And it "will tell you how to design an organizational structure - and how to diagnose a faulty one" (page ii).
