Environmental Dynamics, Organizational Adaptation, and Business Effectiveness in Nigeria

Abstract

This study critically examined Environmental Dynamics, Organizational Adaptation and Effectiveness of Organizations in Nigeria. Organizations in Nigeria like other organizations all over the world are flake, uncertain,  complex and dynamic due to some environmental changes that affect their operations. These environmental changes occur in the Political, Physical, Economic, Social and Technological forces of the organizations being  investigated. Changes in the informational dimension of the organizations also affected the way in which they carry out their normal business. From the analysis, it was observed that it is the absolute responsibility of the management and organizations to adopt ways and means of adapting reasonably to these environmental changes in order for them to survive grow, develop and become very profitable. Structural flexibility and coping are some means out of the dilemma of systematic changes that face them. A good structural design and the benevolent autocratic leadership policy should be put in place for their stability even though those  organizations that adopted the democratic leadership style do also centralize and stabilize on the long-run and become highly synergic and successful.

Key words: Environmental Dynamics, Adaptation, Effectiveness, Structural design, benevolent autocracy and synergy.
