Abstract

This study examines Ashby's law of requisite variety: its theoretical origin and its relevance to organization and management. This leads to a statement of hypotheses which are tested empirically. The empirical work includes the operationalization of variety and entropy and the collection of data in an insurance organization. The data are statistically analyzed to test their correspondence to Ashby's law.
