1. Definitions in Systemic Vision

The definition of the Universal Law of Organization is:

"All important concepts regarding organizing activity are integrated naturally into a double feedback cybernetic logical system in confor-mity with THE UNIVERSAL MODEL OF ORGANIZATION. This model is always the same, wherever in universe".

THE UNIVERSAL LAW OF ORGANIZATION is a law of nature. This law maintains the universal order and supports the creative evolution against entropy. From microcosm to macrocosm the world is a hierarchy of systems more and more comprehensives..

The organizing activity is that activity which creates a system for the achievement of a goal. The resultant system must survive into an entropic, hostile environment realizing a maximal possible efficiency by a precise management.

The managing activity is a guiding and regulating activity so that without modify its structure, the system would work efficiently and obtain the proposed performance.

If during work one needs to improve the system's structure, then the necessary modifications are to be done by a supplementary organi-zing effort. This effort may be initiated inside - by the self-organizing function, or outside - by the organizing function of a superior level system.

The system organized in conformity with the Universal Model of Organization comprises two subsystems: 1) The Managed Process and 2) The Managing Process.

The Managed Process includes all operations which transform the physical resources in the products (results) predicted in the objec-tive of the system.

The Managing Process comprises the functions which transform the information from the system and from the environment in strategic or tactical decisions and then in correction of the system's work or / and structure.

There are six managing functions: three on the tactical regulating informational circuit and three on the strategic guiding informational circuit (two feedback circuits. On the tactical regulation circuit are working the following functions: controlling function, regulating function and commanding function. On the strategic adaptor circuit are working the following functions: previsioning function, guiding function and organizing function.

The Universal Model of Organization also integrates and defines in a systemic vision the following concepts: physical resources, infor-mation, scientific method, product, indicators, efficiency, disturbing of environment actions, perturbations, means of defense, tactical deviation, tactical plan, strategic plan, logistic plan, working correc-tions, structural corrections, operations, operators, cooperations, connexions and others.

The Universal Law of Organization is represented graphically by a simple and suggestive logical sketch (see 'Mihaescu's Model').

For the first time, this original sketch integrates in a single image the above concepts and all their subtile connexions otherwise heavily perceptible in all their complexity. This image allows a more precise identification, a more clear semantic delimitation, a coherent defini-tion, a good understanding of the concepts and therefore a signifi-cant growth of their practical efficiency.

2. Mihaescu's Model

In a late 19th-early 20th century Frederick Winslow Taylor in United States and Henri Fayol in France have published the first important works of scientific management for a high performance.

Then, especially in last twenty years, the researches in this domain became more and more intense, the number of authors and scientific works have increased.

I have observed that the number and the definitions of management functions are different from an author to another.

Therefore I have asked myself:

'What is the scientific incontestable basis on that if I redefine the management functions, the obtained new definitions would be also incontestable?

The answer was: 'Such scientific basis might be the cybernetic-systemic vision' and I began to build a graphical model in this vision.

Then, I was very surprised when I observed that each concept used in organizing and managing activities have a naturally defined place, as though this place would have been established before as a nece-ssary part of a mysterious natural whole. It was as though I have a try for remake a broken vase from its fragments.

I understand that this definite place for each concept was pre-established by a natural universal law which can be represented by the graphical model I've obtained in that experience. I've named this model 'The Universal Model of Organization ' (in short: 'Mihaescu's Model').

As many other scientists, now I ask myself again: 'Is there a general theory of systems possible?'

In spite of great diversity of systems, the answer might be 'Yes, there is!' because the organization of all systems seems to be included in the above model.
But, in this matter, many other aspects remain to be discovered.
