Abstract
In the modern era, cybernetic has shown an important place in the progressiveness of numerous internationally recognized firms as an appropriate hypothetical management framework to overcome the traditional organizational structural dilemma. This chapter will critically analyze the previous literature relevant to the aspects of organizational intelligence and cybernetics because it is vital for the researcher to understand the influencing features of cybernetics in enhancing organizational intelligence. These factors are explored from previous scientific literature using journals, publications, and books to develop the basis of the current research study. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is attempting to carry out a review of relevant literature on how cybernetics can enhance organizational intelligence. Thus, three sequential themes are introduced and discussed in this chapter. The first theme focuses on an overview of organizational intelligence, the second theme focuses on cybernetics, and the third theme focuses on the theoretical models for implementation of cybernetics to enhance organizational intelligence.
