“Organizations do not exist for their own sake.”

“Organizations do not exist for their own sake. They are means: each society’s organ for the discharge of one social task. Survival is not an adequate goal for an organization as it is for a biological species.

The organization’s goal is a specific contribution to individual and society. The test of its performance, unlike that of a biological organism, therefore always lies outside of it. The first area in which we need a theory of organizations is, therefore, that of the organization’s goals.

How does it decide what its objectives should be? How does it mobilize its energies for performance? How does it measure whether it performs?”
