W Kierunku Architektury Organizacji

Abstract

There are four level of analysis in relation to organizations: picture – structure – design – architecture. With a massive use of information processing technologies, there comes a shortening perspective in analysis of organizations. In essence, organization considerations concentrate on visible (manipulable) elements: picture (other visible artefacts), followed by structure, followed by emerging design pattern without any regard to architectural considerations. The other way order should prevail. Even if t does not, architectural assumptions are in play in the functioning of organization. However, when architectural assumptions are not consciously created and controlled, this leads to disfunctionality and conflicts.
