Continual Change in Solid Organizational Structures

I recently received the text and the Ch. 2 reading was my first impression of our course material. In describing Organizational Structure and Process, the authors take somewhat of a fluid approach by explaining the ‘yin and yang’ of various concepts. Take for example, Giddens duality of structure on pg 20, or the authors’ explanation that a solid organizational structure partakes in continual change on pg 24, or even the idea that order and disorder are interdependent as compliment parts of chaos theory on pg 38. This approach portrays the general nature of organizational structure and process, as described by the authors, in that it is constantly ever-changing on one level or another.
