Equifinality, The concept of equifinality argues that there
are a number of ways to skin a cat. More exactly, it states that a
system can reach the same final state from differing initi;'tl conditions
and by a variety of paths. This means that an organizational
system can accomplish its objecti~es with varied inputs and transformation
processes. As we discuss the managerial implications of
organization theory, it will be valuable for you to keep the idea of
equifinality in mind. It will encourage you to consider a variety of solutions to a given problem rather than to seek some rigid optimal solution.
