The case of a rural organization "Chocolates Finos y Derivados El Yagual" dedicated to the elaboration of artisanal type chocolate is presented. The objective of the research was to describe the challenges they faced when adding value to cocoa. For observation, the Theory of Autopoietic Social Systems that distinguishes between system/environment was drawn as the explanatory theoretical framework coupled to the methodology. The field work involved conducting in-depth interviews with key informants of the organization, to whom a content analysis was carried out using the Atlas ti version 22 assisted platform as a tool. The results indicate that the main challenges that the rural organization faced, they were influenced by the selective inability of the political system to not be able at times to distinguish the demands of the organization system, with lax. One of the main challenges was the consolidation of knowledge around the added value of cocoa, strict control, which broadened the organization's expectations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this article is to characterise the informal organisation links identified in three dependencies of a Higher Education Institution in the Colombian Caribbean region. The referential framework includes the concepts of Informal Organisation and its structure (integral, peripheral, link, near-isolate, isolate). A descriptive methodological approach was used to collect a total of 40 valid socio-metric questionnaires (mixed data). The results show that the links that sustain these informal relationships in different groups lead to the convergence of shared personal values (for example, responsibility, honesty, sincerity). Similarly, the characterisations of individuals show that personal attributes (such as friendliness, willingness to collaborate, trustworthiness) are relevant when developing informal relationships within groups.

This paper presents reflections and perspectives about the importance of informal human relationships to better understand the organizational behavior. Since the essential duality of organizations as human and economic systems, informality becomes a key to understand the human side of the working place. Them we could see organizations like a big tissue that includes interconnected social networks and obtain a more real and complex idea of what an organization is. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
