Abstract

All organizations operate within perspectives, whether acknowledged or not. This author would like to suggest that all organizations operate primarily from one of three perspectives or a combination thereof. The three perspectives are cognitive, behavioral, and cultural. In other words an organization’s core values, strategies, and/or frames originate from the cognitive, behavioral, and /or cultural perspective. The chapter will focus on the following: (1) Elaborate on the cognitive, behavioral, and cultural perspectives of organizations within the context of organizational design and (2) Discuss how combinations of the perspectives can be beneficial to organizations that are striving to understand organizational theory and behavior to successfully compete.
