Organisasjonsparadokser

Copyed from "Paradox of Control in Large Project Organizations":

The Paradox of control in large project organizations: Those projects that we control the most rigorously appear to be the most out-of-control.

Richard Farson (1997) identified over 30 significant social paradoxes in organizations including:

• • Every great strength is also a great weakness

  • The opposite of a profound truth is also true

  • Technology creates the opposite of its intended purpose

  • Large changes are easier to make than small ones

• Praise does not motivate people
