[Ous-lp-rp13] EDAD 6020, Answer to Question #1

[Nicholas Turon]

*Rational systems are unified groups with one shared goal. The leader is
the focus of this system.  Managerial responsibilities of the leader are
most valued and transactional relationships are the norm. Examples of
rational systems in schools are cafeterias and transportation departments.
Tasks are very clearly defined.Natural Systems, in contrast, may not have
one shared goal. The system is made up groups with varying, and maybe even
conflicting, goals. As such the focus is mainly the people who exist in the
system. In a school, for example, natural systems exist between the
teachers or departments.Open systems are bound together almost purely based
on the environment and not by shared goals.  For example, the community
surrounding a school district would be a part of an open system where goals
are vastly different. Local businesses may have much different goals for
the school district than the neighboring family, or the bachelor who lives
across the street.*
