Corporations, like living organisms, experience predictable patterns of behavior as they grow and develop. And, like living organisms, they are faced with specific problems as they progress through the various stages of their lifestyle. According to Dr. Ichak Adizes, the success or failure of any organization depends on its ability to meet the challenges presented by this growth, and make healthy transitions from one stage of development to the next. And if there is anyone who really understands organizational behavior and what keep an organization vital and growing, it's Ichak Adizes.
