Contingency theory sought out to change that ideal theorizing that conflict is inevitable, but it is able to be managed. ]]> 2017-12-10 15:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferb1010/4lwuyrruj931/wish/214807884 jenniferb1010 https://padlet.com/jenniferb1010/4lwuyrruj931/wish/214808158 2017-12-10 15:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferb1010/4lwuyrruj931/wish/214808158 jenniferb1010 https://padlet.com/jenniferb1010/4lwuyrruj931/wish/214808234 Contingency theory also focused on how management adapts to its environment. "Effectiveness was a function of management's ability to adapt to environmental changes" (Walonick, 1993). ]]> 2017-12-10 15:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferb1010/4lwuyrruj931/wish/214808234 jenniferb1010 https://padlet.com/jenniferb1010/4lwuyrruj931/wish/214808736 2017-12-10 15:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferb1010/4lwuyrruj931/wish/214808736 Ludwig von Bertalanffy jenniferb1010 https://padlet.com/jenniferb1010/4lwuyrruj931/wish/214808935 In 1928, Ludwig von Bertalanffy orignaly proposed this theory stating that everything in an organization is related and changing one thing can throw the whole organization off balance. 
Not until more recent times has this theory been applied. ]]> 2017-12-10 15:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferb1010/4lwuyrruj931/wish/214808935 jenniferb1010 https://padlet.com/jenniferb1010/4lwuyrruj931/wish/214809494 An example of systems theory is that of an elephant. If one part of an elephant is not in the right place, it is no longer an elephant. 
We need to think of an organization as the elephant, if one piece of the organizations equilibrium is off, the organization is no longer the organization because each piece is connected to the other. ]]> 2017-12-10 15:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferb1010/4lwuyrruj931/wish/214809494 Walonick, D.
