It is useful to look at an organization as an organism. Of course there are differences but the overall themes that affect animals will have relevance to the performance of an organization in the environment. Just like an organism has to survive nature, the business has to survive the market.

An organism is made up of different parts that perform specific functions. If one of the parts is removed, then the functionality of the organism as a whole might reduce.

For example an injured animal is not able to hunt effectively and is therefore prone to starvation without the right support mechanisms.

If you are part of the process of developing the right support mechanisms for a business, it will be important for you to study the rudiments of an organism. The LVCMart client success is dependent on using this analogy to good effect. The parts of an organization are divided into different levels of importance.
