In an article titled "The Mechanism of Organizational Life- Cotninuity Within Environmental Dynamics", I have presented a conceptual framework for relations between organizations and their immediate environ¬ments. A scanning process is envisioned for monitor¬ing changes in the external environment and evaluat¬ing the response-invoked mechanism of the internal en¬vironment within the established criteria for existing and ideal situations. My findings reveal that the oppor¬tunistic modes of feedback which are noted in certain organizations are more likely to evoke surveillance than search.
