Most information of key relevance to an organization resides outside the boundaries of the organization. Hence, the challenge of the organization lies in keeping the [internal] theories of business aligned with external 'reality of business.' Based on the organizational change and systems theory literatures, it may be argued that the interactions of various entities outside the boundaries of the organization (more technically termed as "causal texture of the environment) has the greatest implications for its survival or competence. Those interested in this view may like to see the early work of system theorists (cf: Emery & Tryst 1960s), that has been followed by the more recent discussion about hyperturbulent environments. More details about these issues (internal vs. external) are available in the following working paper accessible online:
