Describe the system may determine if the nature of the interaction at each of its levels, "the organization - environment", "division - division" or "group - a group", "the individual - organization."

Methods of interaction between the parties characterize the system in question in a certain way and allow us to judge how well it copes with its main task - the organization of the harmonic interaction between the individual and the environment. The important place in the structure of the organization takes, through which or through which this interaction occurs.

Finally, on the "individual - the organization of" the level of interaction depending on which side is playing a leading role, can give the organization "individualistic" or "corporate" in nature (Figure 8.1.).
