ABSTRACT

We are working with a hypothetical; a “what if”. What if an organisation were like a person? Or, better put: what if the system that is the “organisation” or “corporation” has processes in common with the system that is “person”? That is, human systems, both person and organisation, may have dynamics in common arising from a common systemic root; especially the nature of their emotional content. Or, put in yet another way, the person may be a system where social dynamics are at play on an internal stage, and the organisation a system where emotions are at play on a large collective scale.
