Problem:
According to Scott and Davis (2007), "Organizations are studied for many purposes and from many points of view. Important bases of divergence include variation among types of organizations, differences in disciplinary background of the investigators, whether research is addressed to more immediate and applied problems or seeks longer-term basic understanding, and level of analysis selected. Three levels of analysis are identified: social psychological, organizational structural, and ecological. It is possible to identify a set of ingredients common to all organizations as well as to identify some of their distinctive capacities as one type of social structure" (p. 33).
In learning organizing the organization I learned the different types of organizations that include, rational, natural, and open system. The definitions are broken down by highly formalized collectives, social systems, and involving coalitions. The author explains these types of organizations because it will be important for research to use the proper framework in research of these organization in their perspective studies.
