Closed and Open System Approaches
The video discusses the contrast between closed and open system approaches in organizational management.

Open system theory introduces concepts like efficiency and effectiveness, emphasizing the need to consider outcomes and environmental impact. It suggests viewing organizations not just as hierarchical structures but as dynamic systems with interconnected processes.
