In cell 1 organization thrives, since it is
achieving what it aspires to achieve with
efficient output/input ratio. Where in cell
2 and cell 4 organization is doomed
unless it can establish strategic direction.
In cell 3 strategic direction is present to
ensure effectiveness even if rather too
much input is being used to generate
outputs. Thus to be effective is to survive
whereas efficiency is not sufficient for
survival.
