The open system as a body, is influenced by the environment and influences, reaching a balance dynamic in that regard.

The largest category of open systems are living systems.

differences exist between open systems (such as biological and social systems, namely, cells, plants, man, organization, society) and closed systems (such as physical systems, machines, clock, thermostat):

- The open system constantly interacts with the environment in dual form, ie, it influences and is influenced. The closed system does not interact.

- The open system can grow, change, adapt to the environment and to reproduce under certain ambient conditions. The closed system no.

- is typical of the open competition with other systems, not the closed system.

Like living organisms, companies have six primary functions are closely related:

- Ingestion: companies or purchasing materials for processing. Acquire money, machines and people in the room to attend other functions, such as living organisms ingest food, water and air to meet their needs.

- Processing: animals ingest and process food to be transformed into energy and organic cells. In the enterprise, the production is equivalent to this cycle. Materials are processed and discarded what does not, having a relationship between inputs and outputs.

- reaction to the environment: the animal reacts to its environment, adapting to survive, must flee or not to attack. The company also reacts by changing its material, consumers, employees and financial resources. You can alter the product, process or structure.

- Providing parts, parts of a living organism can be supplied with materials, and supplies blood to the body. Participants of the company may be replaced, not its function but also by purchasing data, production, sales or accounting and are rewarded in the form of wages and benefits. The money is often considered the blood of the company.

- Regeneration parts: body parts lose efficiency, become ill or die and must be regenerated, or relocated to survive in the set. Members of a company age, retire, fall ill, become detached or die. The machines become obsolete. Both men and machines should be kept or relocated, hence the function and maintenance personnel.

- Organization, functions, is the communications system required for control and decision making. In the case of animals that require care in adaptation. In business, you need a central nervous system, where the functions of production, purchasing, marketing, rewards and maintenance must be coordinated. In a constantly changing environment, forecasting, planning, research and development are necessary aspects for the administration to make adjustments.

The open system is a set of interacting parts forming a synergistic whole, oriented toward specific purposes and in a permanent relationship of interdependence with the external environment.
