organization

Key Critiques
• Heurism
• Has led to many studies and produced practical advice
for how organizations should function in complex and
dynamic environments.
• Logical Consistency
• Weick claims people in organizations follow established
rules, when in many cases they clearly don’t.
• Some organizations are static (or even “broken”) in the
sense that they don’t have the mechanisms in place for
doing OIT that Weick claims.
• Ignores effects of mergers, downsizing, offshoring, etc.
