Abstract

In this article we discuss freedom of choice in action and its relationship with the concepts of fit and effectiveness from a managerial point of view and using a designing perspective. We have give our perspectives on fit as a construction, on freedom of choice and on dynamics. We regard the traditional interpretation of fit as static and deterministic and continued ideas of Thompson, Donaldson en Gresov & Drazin. The Systems Theory of Control does offer ways to gain more insight into theories about fit. A new dynamic concept does offer a conceptual framework for determining whether the actions at t1 and t2 may lead to results at t3. The levels of aggregation were 1 2 3 introduced for analytical purposes mainly. This advances the discussion about freedom of choice in action and fit and effectiveness by a small step.
