Abstract:

The aim of the article is to propose a universal, and at the same time rational and effective model of perception of the environment of a modern organisation. The paper presents the concept of a universal unit of reality, which is a theoretical and logical construct, based mainly on Ludwig von Bertalanffy's general system theory and Karl R. Popper's evolutionary epistemology. This unit has been given a working name of an organisational system model. The basic elements of such a unit, its structure and relations have been identified, and the principle of its functioning has been indicated. This principle expresses the logic of the development and functioning of such a unit. It is assumed that with the help of the model developed, hypothetical deductive reasoning or anticipation of the causes of occurring phenomena, as well as mechanisms of events occurring in the turbulent environment of a modern economic organisation will be possible, allowing for more effective management of this organisation. The verification was made on the basis of observation of actual organizational behavior. The concepts of three models were presented, which were discussed, providing verifying examples.
