¶ … Congruence Model recognized "Outputs" as existing at the individual, Group and Organizational levels. Please discuss outputs in the context of your chosen "Best 100" company be thorough and be specific (General Motors)
The congruence model divides all aspects of the organization into four thereby enabling researchers and managers to assess and develop each one. When all four are congruently working with each other, the organization, as a whole, is successful and effective.
Outputs refers to the performance of the organization and each of the three other categories - inputs, strategies, and Organizational Components - must fit to this in order that 'outputs' corresponds to the organization's objective. The model measures the outputs at the individual, group and organizational level and if lacking in one or more areas, revises these areas so that outputs is enhanced.
