In the past it has been thought that the price to be paid for the failure of control of man-made organisations was simply the collapse of the system and the contingent effects of this on other systems with which it was interconnected. These conclusions were reached because the current paradigms of organisation hold that human processes are seen as metasystemic to organisation.
