Book excerpt: This work explores how external constraints affect organizations and provides insights for designing and managing organizations to mitigate these constraints. All organizations are dependent on the environment for their survival.

Organizations can either try to change their environments through political means or form interorganizational relationships to control or absorb uncertainty.
