“…The debates in organizational theory about organizational effectiveness have been started a while ago (Georgopoulos & Tannenbaum, 1957;Mahoney & Weitzel, 1969;Steers, 1975;Campbell, 1977) and they are still relevant (Matthews, 2011). The debates about the essence of effectiveness of the development of organization were presented in detailed review of (Astley & Van de Ven, 1983), where six main areas of discussions were: System versus Individual Action; Adaptation versus Selection Debates; Environmental Constraints versus Strategic Choice; "Natural" versus "Social" Environment discussion; Individual versus Collective Actions Organizational Behavior and Organization versus Institution Debates.…”

AUTHORSOleksii Lyulyov https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4865-7306 Hanna Shvindina ARTICLE INFOOleksii Lyulyov and Hanna Shvindina (2017) AbstractThe problem of instability of industries, clusters and states influences the countries' economies. Unavoidable changes became an attribute of the strategic planning at every level. As a result, an effective tool is needed to evaluate stability at different levels in such a way that will make it possible to manage the changes. In this paper the concept of Macroeconomic Stabilization Pentagon (MSP) was analyzed for its applicability for the EU countries of low-an-middle-income economies including Ukraine. The data analysis brought new understanding of the assessment of the public policies' effectiveness. The model has proven its efficiency not just in the sphere of public administration, but also for the micro level management. The authors proposed the Microeconomic Stabilization Pentagon to be implemented in the research at the level of enterprises.

“…In discussing the concept of organizational effectiveness, Mahoney and Weitzel (1969) point out the similarities between the problem of defining effectiveness and the "criterion problem" that has plagued personnel psychologists for many years. Thorndike (1949) differeitiated three sets of criteria frr research on employee selection: ultimate, intermediate, and immediate.…”

“…This, in fact, is what has happened in the organizational effectiveness research literature. A number of researchers have attempted to describe various models of organizational effectiveness (Mahoney & Weitzel, 1969;Campbell, Bownas, Peterson, & Dunnett, 1974;Engel, 1977;Goodman & Pennings, 1976;Steers, Porter, Mowday, & Stone, 1975;Price, 1968;Coulter, 1979;Mahoney & Frost, 1974). The dimensions of effectiveness growing out of several dozen models were cataloged by Campbell et al, 1974 Perhaps a better way to think of organizational effectiveness is as an underlying construct which has no direct operational definition, but which constitutes a model or theory of what organizational effectiveness is (1974, p.5).…”

“…Martin and Parker (1997) present that market (private) oriented goals focus on commercial, consumer oriented, adaptable, market priced and output/outcome focused principles. To achieve such goals, one must consider that Mahoney and Weitzel (1969) give reference to the use of efficiency as a determinate criteria for the assessment of organisational effectiveness, and thus the efficient achievement of one's organisational goals can be said to be effective. With such high level goals defined by the focus ICO as a 65% reduction in project concept phases, 40% quicker overall delivery times, 20% CAPEX reduction and a 0% OPEX increase, the successful delivery of infrastructure is thusly concerned with managing organisational transitions toward achieving such goals in as an efficient manner as possible.…”

This paper discusses a systems approach to the strategic delivery of infrastructure in the regulated UK water sector as part of a participatory-focused research project. Part of an ongoing PhD programme, this paper highlights the value of a strategic approach to the procurement of infrastructure-related services in accordance with the quinquennial water sector reprocurement exercise being undertaken by infrastructure client organisations (ICOs). As a strategic approach is concerned with understanding the delivery environment into which an organisation places, engages and delivers projects, this paper surfaces how a UK-based water and wastewater ICO has engaged with its delivery market, through procurement, to position itself strategically within the wider delivery environment to serve its customers better. Using a systems approach, what is brought to light here is the importance of organisational transitioning through change management and how a delivery strategy can encompass the facilitation of organisational change.
