2. Feedback. Open systems continually receive information from their environment. This helps the system to adjust and allows it to take corrective actions to &ctify deviations from its prescribed course. We call this receipt of environmental information feed back; that is, a process that allows a portion of the output to be returned to the system as input (such as information or money) so as to modify succeeding outputs from the system. In the case of Chrysler Corporation, management was able to respond success fully to its problems because it effectively read the feedback it received and adjusted accordingly. The public's favorable response to the fuel-efficient K-cars, attractive convertibles, Caravan wa gons, and rigorous quality-control measures all were achieved be cause Chrysler's management successfully read the feedback it got from its environment
