Systems Approach Thinking and Management
In the wake of new technology and the ever-expanding global economy and industries,
there is a great need to have more companies and organizations adopt a systems way of thinking
and management. Aligning the employees and the value of an organization to the new approach
of systems thinking helps in the transformation of the organization from a traditional perspective
to a more modern approach. Systems thinking also encourage the idea of holism in the workplace
such that even the employees begin the culture of a holistic approach to the organization. A
holistic approach using systems thinking also benefits the organization in that the performance is
improved due to the lack of using traditional analyses. In discussing the use of systems thinking
in an organization, this paper will identify the structural, intersectional (relationship) and the
behavioral attributes in the most recent employer’s organization.
The organization I was working for dealt with selling personal care products to the
customers and the market share. Some of the structural attributes in the organization included
offering various payment options for the customer’s convenience and satisfaction, tracking the
trends and the changes in tastes and preferences in both the market and the customers as well as
catering to any feedback provided by the clients. On the other hand, the behavioral attributes
include great interpersonal skills between the employees who would work on marketing
campaigns together as well as other projects and departments. Additionally, other behavioral
attributes included achievement orientation, locus of control, and focusing on problem-solving.
The intersectional attributes in the organization included the ability to create clear
communication pathways between the employees and the clients and the rest of the organization
as well as recognizing how various actions by the employees and on the products sold can impact
