factory is run. However, within a natural system, members may not share a
common goal, but all want to feel as if they are part of the system. Effective communication
among members keeps these systems running. If one were to view this system through
a perceptual lens, it would be obvious this system fits in the human resource
lens- where human relations empower members. </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(34,34,34);background:white">In regards to perceptual

within the particular system and those outside systems most likely have
different goals. This could become political if conflict arises, like you
stated it is less likely that goals will be agreed upon by everyone. Both sides
will seek opportunities to build power, and advocate for their system.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;margin:0in 0in 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(34,34,34);background:white"><u>                                                                                                                                </u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;margin:0in 0in 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(34,34,34);background:white"><u><br></u></span></p>
