Abstract

This paper delineates strategies for executies in human service organizations, which enable them to effectively manage the turbulent environment in which the organizations act. The administrative strategies are derived from a conceptual framework of organization-environment relations, and are intended to present executives with an overall scheme of the various linkages. Based on this framework, the paper suggests ways for executives to learn, scan and map the opportunities and risks inherent in the environment.
