Create a 9 pages page paper that discusses organizational analysis from the perspectives of organizational learning, psychodynamics, and complexity theories. Transform the vision into people and you have an organization.

Organizations are groups of people coming together for a certain purpose – whether it is dictated by blood, law, social affiliation, common interests or whatever reason that brings people together. What makes this “mix” of people rich is the variety of personal psychodynamics each member brings in. By Psychodynamics, I mean individual personalities, family dynamics, social network and other personal issues.

Although a group develops its own culture, as Wilfred Bion, a renowned psychoanalyst has thoroughly worked on, it is not immune to the surfacing of its members’ individual psychodynamics every so often. This usually creates tension and anxiety within the group, often resulting in some members leaving the group if their ideas are not accommodated or at least acknowledged. However, what is usually emphasized in groups is conformity to its culture. David Armstrong, commenting on Bion’s work, concludes, “To achieve a full understanding of human behaviour in the round called for what Bion came to refer to as ”binocular vision”: the ability to view the same phenomena: human experience and behaviour, now through the vertex of the individual, now through the vertex of the group.” (Armstrong, n.d.)

Psychoanalysts explain that a person going through anxiety responds with defence mechanisms such as rationalization, denial, projection, reaction-formation, sublimation and so on. When he is with his group, and they are faced with a crisis, each member may have his own default defence mechanism to cope with, at the same time, as a group, they tend to develop mechanisms to defend against emotion – especially uncertainty/ anxiety.&nbsp.&nbsp.
