El complejo sistema de acoplamientos y contradicciones en una organización semiautónoma : un análisis desde la perspectiva de los sistemas débilmente acoplados

(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Arango Vásquez, Leonel; Gentilin, Mariano

In the field of organizational studies, it is possible to approach organizational phenomena through a conceptual framework known as Loosely Coupled Systems (hereinafter referred to as SDA). This perspective characterizes organizations in three main ways. Firstly, organizations are composed of distinct organizational units with unique features (Orton and Weick, 1988). Secondly, there are both tight and loose couplings between these organizational units (Heldal, 2010). Lastly, there exist coupling mechanisms that affect both the organizational units and their members (Beekun and Glick, 2001a). The SDA perspective also recognizes the coexistence of contradictions within organizations, which are seen as inherent aspects rather than undesirable elements (Weick, 1976; Orton and Weick, 1990). When examining the distinctive features, tight and loose couplings, and coupling mechanisms, the central concepts of SDAs, it is noteworthy that many analyses focus on only one of these aspects. Some studies concentrate solely on distinctive features, couplings, or coupling mechanisms. In certain cases, the analysis is further limited to either tight or loose couplings, or it explores only one specific type of coupling mechanism, such as regulatory, cultural, or structural. This narrow focus restricts the comprehensive understanding of organizational couplings. To overcome this limitation, this doctoral thesis recognizes the SDA perspective as a means to comprehend organizations holistically and in depth, thereby making the intelligible elements evident and the unintelligible elements more visible and observable. Consequently, this research employs an integrated approach to analyze the three central concepts of SDA and their relationship with organizational contradictions. It acknowledges that organizations are not monolithic and stable entities but rather complex systems that warrant examination from various angles. Based on this premise, the thesis proposes a more comprehensive form of organizational analysis, simultaneously considering the distinctive features, tight and loose couplings, and coupling mechanisms. Through this approach, the unique characteristics of an organization's complex system of couplings and contradictions, particularly within a semi-autonomous context, can be illuminated.

El prisma estructural : una configuración para las acciones estratégicas institucionales; el caso argos en el entorno colombiano, 1960-2007

(Universidad EAFIT, 2012) Londoño Correa, Diana; Garzón Díaz, César

This dissertation is guided by questions about the formal institutions that companies seek to intervene and about the organizational structure from which they undertake these actions. Such questions arise from the intersection of the fields of strategy in management and institutional change in New Institutional Economics (NIE). This work analyzes, in a retrospective approach, the case of Argos, a cement company in the Colombian environment, between 1960 and 2007. The results contribute to the field of Corporate Political Activity (CPA), and they show how companies deal with two kinds of formal rules: those that guarantee property rights and those aimed at business regulation. Also, there are two different stages: definition of the rules and their application. Within this framework of classes and stages, nine corporate strategic actions were identified: to bring to attention, to support, to participate, to solicit, to promote, to modify, to lock, to secure, and to demand. As to the organizational structure from which companies intervene, a spectrum structure was identified. This spectrum structure offers a variety of operational alternatives from which the company selects the most appropriate for the specific corporate strategic action.
