In modern theory, an organization is defined as a designed and structured process in which individuals interact for objectives (Hicks & Gullet, 1997) Modern Theory has three different Approaches: 1. The systems approach: it views the inter connectedness between several components such as, individual, environment, communication, balancing and decision analyzing as the goal of organization as well. 2. Socio- technical approach: it is based on technical system and environment of organization. An organization uses tools and techniques on producing their products to make the organization more effective technologically. 3. Contingency or situational approach: it is based on inter-relating to the environment. When different environments require different organizational relationships for maximum effectiveness in correlation with social. Legal, political, technical and economic factors.(refer to appendix 1)

In 1999, they achieved record sales and earnings, selling over 100 million barrels of beer worldwide for the first time in history. August A. Busch III, Chairman of the Board and President, says his company owes its success to, “The combination of outstanding domestic beer industry fundamentals, the highest quality and freshest beer in the industry and exceptional marketing and sales execution.”
It is evident that both positive and negative aspects of both approaches exist in the current climate, and from a basic understanding it can be drawn that varying aspects of each approach can nullify the negatives of the other in some manner. Consequently I believe the works of the Burns and Stalker (as cited in Grey, 2012) should be considered, in which it is suggested organizations can be seen as mechanistic and organic (roughly translated to bureaucratic and post-bureaucratic) depending on contingencies. This contingency approach would see organizations exhibiting differing behaviors based on the environmental factors that they work within and the assets that they have so that they may better suit the needs of workers, employers, consumers

However, they tend to have a focus on certain organizational aspects making the modern organization system be a blend of the three major perspectives.

Organizations are social entities that are goal directed, are designed as deliberately structured and coordinated activity systems, and are linked to the external environment (Kirst-Ashman, 2011). The four main parts of that definition are social entity, goal directed, deliberately structured, and link to external
According to Miles et al. (1978, p. 547), an organization is both its purpose and the mechanism constructed to achieve the purpose. It means that the concept of organization is embracing both goals and all the elements that represent unique combination. Miles et al. (1978, p. 553) draws the conclusion that structure and the processes taking place inside the organization are closely aligned; it is hard to speak about one without mentioning the other. It is important to understand the conclusion drawn by Miles et al. (1978). It illustrates how the
