models provide an understanding of why - and how - organizations function, and whether that functioning is effective. One such model is

because of their structure, organizations are flexible and open to change; 3) organizational behavior occurs at all levels (individual, group and systems); and 4) interactions are an ongoing thing at

all about. Outputs are loosely defined as a number of particular products produced, or created, in a period of time. Other outputs
can involve numbers of customers visited in a certain time period, number of people served in a certain time period, and so on.
Lockheed Martins outputs are wide and varied. The company known to "move products in a time of crisis" according to researcher Jeff Dorsch (2009), is the number-one military
contractor in the world. The U.S. government accounts for about 85% of the governments sales in aerospace (Dorsch, 2009). There are other segments as well - the companys Electric Systems
and Information Systems & Global Services segments represent more than half of Lockheeds sales (Dorsch, 2009). Outputs, therefore, range between fighter yets, to space systems supporting strategic missiles, to IT,
mission and communications systems, as well as surveillance systems (Dorsch, 2009). These are the outputs were examining, as theyre the strongest products/services in the companys portfolio. The companys portfolio itself
