Simple or Not
Abstract
Today, there are many different organizations. As these organizations develop,
so do the difficulties they are faced with. The character of the difficulties can
take form in many different ways. In order to come to a rest with this dilemma,
there is not one, but several parallel mutual and complementary perspectives
needed to understand organizational difficulties. Each of the perspectives is
fruitful as they give different aspect of the problems within an organization.
Organizations often do not realize how hard it can be to solve superficially
simple problems. Many times the small problems are not prioritized because
they are thought to be unimportant. Nevertheless, if one is to solve these
difficulties, there is a need for understanding and holistic view on how they
have come about.
Based on a certain background, this paper is an attempt to investigate why it is
so difficult for two small business units within a big organization to solve
uncomplicated problems. The result shows that there is a need for common
understanding and holistic view within the entire organization.
