Alternative Theory of Organization and Management

Designed and developed by Seweryn Chajtman, the ATOM concept arose from a need to clarify the adoption and widespread recognition of laws and regularity that are based on strict criteria.

The reasons for the creation of ATOM include:[1] The subjects of organization and management are exclusively: The essential nature of these processes and systems are the products that have been purposefully created, which are material objects or information.

[clarification needed] Ergo-transformational systems are classified depending on the gradation of intended goals and on relationships resulting from service provision, as show in Table 2.

The primary issue of identification or designing each ergo-transformational system (new or improved) is their accurate decomposition into subsystems.

In any ergo-transformational system, the occurrence of a set of primary (Ppri), auxiliary (Paux) and information processes (Pinf) is mandatory.

Figure 5 refers to the mutual relationships between Ppri, Paux and Pinf in the ergo-transformational system.

The regularity of the above shows that management can only be logically interpreted as a higher degree Pinf process.

It follows that the term "organization" – in the sense of function – can be interpreted by each information process at various levels in an ergo-transformational system.
