An Imagination of Organizations in the Future

Abstract

Organizations try to survive in a hypercompetitive, changing, and unpredictable environment. The form of this survival continuously changes and requires different tools, solutions, dynamics and drivers according to the actual time. Today organizations face with a big paradigm shift, the industrialization of information age. Organizations should find a new form on the basis of the new age requirements. Some authors have suggested some strategic prescriptions harmonized with the actual term such as McKinsey's 7S Model including strategy, structure, systems, skills, staff, style and shared goals. It is considered that there is a gap related to updating and upgrading these formulas by activating some new concepts such as morphing, organizational ambidexterity and so on. In this study, it is aimed to understand the organizations in the future with internal elements and outer changes which would affect them at the edge of the new era by using this model and offer many propositions.

The Existence and the Role of Islamic Education Institutions in the Era of Industry 4.0 Revolution: A Case Study of Central Alkhairaat Education Institution in Palu City, Indonesia

“…Educators need to have adequate leadership and teaching skills to facilitate learners' long-term growth. Given the dying need to embrace online learning, educators should be leaders who implement curriculum needs and make self-interventions about learning needs (Zincir and Tunç, 2017).

Influence of work specialization on realization of superordinate goals in selected non-governmental organizations in Naivasha Sub-County, Kenya

“…This study was pegged on McKinsey's 7s Model which is an organizational development model developed by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman in the 1980s (Zincir & Tunç, 2017). The premise of the model is that seven organizational aspects need to be aligned for an organization to be successful.…”

“…The seven aspects include style, skills, staff, shared values which are the soft intangible elements, systems, strategy and structure which are the hard tangible elements. These need to be mutually reinforced for the alignment to be maintained and ensure the stability of the organization even in times of turbulence (Zincir & Tunç, 2017).…”
