Activity System in ActionManagerial control work to reproduce or transform the pattern of behaviour of the subordinate. The transformation is brought about by the activities of the subject on the object through the artefact, and the outcome is the reproduction or the transformation of the patterns of behaviour in the culture.
This affects the rational organisation and this renews or changes the guidelines allowing the subject to confirm or change the plans.
The transformation is mediated by the artefact...
The outcome of the transformation goes from the object to the patterns of behaviour... Clive Burgess Copyright September 2011
Activity System in ActionIn other words the purpose of the transformation is the control of the object and the reproduction of the patterns of behaviour which in its turn reproduces the rational organisation, which goes through work environment (community) to guidelines enabling the subject to create new plans.
Activities (actions and processes) are at the micro level and culture (community-network) is at the meso level... the State and the Law is at a macro level...
It works in practice something like this...
