In particular, Karl E. Weick, one of the most famous LCS theo­rists, has been considered here. He has significantly influenced organizational theory. First, the paper defines loose coupling and LCS: loose coupling refers to simple ties between sys­tems, whereas LCS refers to some loose couplings between the subordinate systems and the "set" as a whole. Second, the paper reveals the relation between the function of loose coupling and the two main func­tions of LCS, "adaptability" and "local adaptation." Although LCS is a source of adaptability, it can only do so when the subordinate systems having sensitive sensory functions cope with each environ­mental change. Third, LCS can be further differentiated to produce generalists and is integrated with "presumption of logic" and "metamanagement." Furthermore, these integrations are related to "hierarchizing." A university has been considered as a specific example of LCS here.}, pages = {23--33}, title = {Loosely Coupled System理論の体系化と一般システム理論}, volume = {64}, year = {2016} }
