The article provides authors’ ideas about organization, based on the notion of organizational balance that is secured by cyclic interaction of order and disorder, reorganization and disorganization. Striving for balance ensures continuous dynamics of organization development (ontogenesis). Guided by the ides of organizational balance the authors put forward and substantiate the thesis that organization is built in a different way compared with activity that is done by it. That is why to conduct effective transformations the organization should be studied and analyzed in another logic and parallelism between activity and organization accepted in managerial community acts as a hindering simplification. According to the authors, the manager gets a chance to see their organization and conduct needed changes that do not contradict its ‘nature’ only with the help of the organizational balance notion. The method of restoring organizational balance proposed for carrying out transformations is built on the artificial abstract separation of activity (business) and organization, their separate examination and diagnostic with further analysis and assembling steps on balancing with proposals aimed at upgrading businessprocesses within the frames of complicated organizational concept.
