System Approach
• Systems philosophy is an overall model for thinking about things as
systems.
– Systems are sets of interacting components that work within an
environment to fulfill some purpose.
• Systems analysis is a problem-solving approach that requires
defining the scope of the system, dividing it into components, and
then identifying and evaluating its problems, opportunities,
constraints, and needs.
– Once this is completed, the systems analyst then examines alternative
solutions for improving the current situation; identifies an optimum,
or at least satisfactory, solution or action plan; and examines that plan
against the entire system.
• Systems management addresses the business, technological, and
organizational issues associated with creating, maintaining, and
modifying a system.

Organizational Structures
• A Functional organizational structure is the hiearchy
most people think of when picturing an organizational
chart.
• A project organizational structure also is hierarchical,
but instead of functional managers or vice presidents
reporting to the CEO, program managers report to the
CEO.
– Their staffs have a variety of skills needed to complete the
projects within their programs.
• A matrix organizational structure represents the
middle ground between functional and project
structures.
