The quality of an organization management as a complex adaptive systems

Abstract

Organizations belong to the class of complex adaptive systems (CAS). The article presents system models (structural and functional) of an organization and connections with the environment, as well as identifies and characterizes its fundamental attributes of the system and the critical conditions for survival and development of natural, economic and social aspects. On such basis the author defined management and quality management of an organization and gave his interpretations in terms of key system attributes and critical conditions for survival and development. Due to non-variant key attributes and critical conditions considerations are significant for organizations of all types and sizes.
