DESCRIPTION: Causal Texture of Organizational Environments \n\n Next in our
  Papers in Systems discussion series: “The Causal Texture of Organizatio
 nal Environments” by Fred Emery and Eric Trist \n\n The discussion will 
 be led by Trond Hjorteland. Trond has been bringing many of these classics
  in sociotechnical systems to broader attention in our field. We are very 
 excited that Trond will lead this! \n\n When: Monday\, April 6th\, 2025\, 
 1PM - 2PM Eastern Time (US/Canada) (19:00 CET). The Zoom room will remain 
 open until 2:30PM for informal discussion. (Check time in your timezone: W
 orldTimeBuddy ) \n\n The paper is available at: https://media.wiley.com/pr
 oduct_data/excerpt/64/04702605/0470260564.pdf \n\n Some quotes to tease th
 e appetite for reading this 1965 paper:\n  \n\n \n "A main problem in the 
 study of organizational change is that the environmental contexts in which
  organizations exist are themselves changing—at an increasing rate\, und
 er the impact of technological change. This means that they demand conside
 ration for their own sake." \n\n "This requires an extension of systems th
 eory. The first steps in systems theory were taken in connection with the 
 analysis of internal processes in organisms\, or organizations\, which inv
 olved relating parts to the whole." \n\n 'Organizational environments diff
 er in their causal texture\, both as regards degree of uncertainty and in 
 many other important respects. A typology is suggested that identifies fou
 r ‘‘ideal types"' \n \n
