One of the most important features of a system is its ordering into a hierarchy. Systems are not structured on a single level but process information and function dynamically across multiple levels. As such, any system comprises interrelated and interdependent subsystems and is a subsystem within a larger system. In this sense, each level functions as a system in its own right.

In your discussion, respond to the following:

• Think of an organization that you are part of daily. Discuss how you communicate within this organization from a systems perspective (interdependence, holism, input transformation and output of energy, negative energy, equilibrium homeostasis and feedback, hierarchy, equifinality .
• Describe the organization you are discussing and how you are involved in the structural hierarchy of the organization.
• Detail how communication within this organization is managed from a hierarchical perspective. Explain how it affects your communication (for example, talking with coworkers yet only communicating via memos from the boss).
• Lastly, discuss if you would welcome change at this organization. Explain why or why not.
