Your first task is to choose one of “Fortune Magazine’s Best 100 Companies To Work For” (2011) from the following website:
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/bestcompanies/2011/index.html

PART I: Open Theory
1) What is open systems theory?
2) How can open systems theory be used to understand an organization?
3) Choose one of Fortune magazine’s Top 100 Best Companies to work for, and discuss how open systems theory might apply to your chosen organization.
4) Be sure that you spend some time reviewing your chosen company’s website, familarizing yourself with the company’s Annual Reports, 10-K filings, and other relevant information

PART II: OD Models

See below for (11) different OD models.
Falletta, S. V. (2005) Organizational Diagnostic Models: A Review and Synthesis. Retrieved November 7, 2012 from http://www.leadersphere.com/img/OrgmodelsR2009.pdf

Now that you’ve considered the background and the strengths and weaknesses of these models, which of them do you believe would be best suited to an OD analysis of your chosen Fortune “Best 100” organization? While you do not need to cover every characteristic of your chosen model, please do be very specific in your discussion and reasoning

PART III: Nashler-Tushman Inputs

In the Background Information section of Module 3, the Nadler-Tushman Congruence Model cites four Input categories:

* Environment (factors external to the organization)
* Resources (factors internal to the organization)
* Organizational history (persistent traditions)
* Strategy (goals, objectives and strategic initiatives)

Please discuss the above Inputs in the context of your “Best 100” company. Be thorough, and be specific.
