This paper is intended to heighten the reader's awareness of biological analogies as heuristic aids to managers by explicit illustration of the negative and positive consequences of organisational ageing and to suggest strategies for counterbalancing the negative forces operating in ageing organisations as one strives to increase organisational productivity. - Reproduced Managers Organizations Jadoon, Zafar Iqbal South Asian Journal of Management 45575 45575 45575 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 6, Issue no: 2 AR45998 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
