Abstract

The study of organizational behavior is one that has changed dramatically over the past few decades. The climate in which organizations and those that manage them operate has become increasingly globalized, and this has had implications for the strategies organizations have had to employ in an effort to achieve sustained success. Macro organizational theory is the branch of organizational theory that studies how organizations work on the broader level, as opposed to focusing how they operate from within. In studying organizational behavior, one hopes to gain an understanding of the way in which these organizations operate within the broader economic framework, to ensure that they are staying competitive, and ultimately staying profitable. It has been said that organizations seek to co-ordinate their actions, decision and resources. This essay will explain what factors impact upon how this co-ordination is achieved and describe what options are open to organizations to structure such co-ordination. From this it will be clear that organizations need to effectively coordinate their actions, decisions and resources to be competitive in the changing global market.
