Organization Development Methodologies and Theories
Burke describes an organization as being a sociotechnical system, with technology representing an essential part of the organization’s routines and a human aspect composed of people who interact to accomplish tasks (Burke, 1992). Too often is one or the other (technology or people) blamed for being the sole contributor or hindrance to an organization’s successes, failures, or growth. The target for change should be technology and people, the total system approach, to realize organization development (Burke, 1992).
