An open system includes the input and suggestions of the community. The goals set forth from the local business are likely to be different than those of the school system. The school district I am associated with has an open system made up primarily of agricultural based income that hold different values at a higher level than the board of education and administration. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Nicholas Turon:</span></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Rational systems are unified groups with one shared goal. The leader is the focus of this system. Managerial responsibilities of the leader are most valued and transactional relationships are the norm. Examples of rational systems in schools are cafeterias and transportation departments. Tasks are very clearly defined.</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Natural Systems, in contrast, may not have one shared goal. The system is made up groups with varying, and maybe even conflicting, goals. As such the focus is mainly the people who exist in the system. In a school, for example, natural systems exist between the teachers or departments.</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Open systems are bound together almost purely based on the environment and not by shared goals. For example, the community surrounding a school district would be a part of an open system where goals are vastly different. Local businesses may have much different goals for the school district than the neighboring family, or the bachelor who lives across the street.</span></p></b>
