Although complex organizations have multiple goals and many times these cannot be prioritized, no framework of organization design explicitly ac-knowledges these facts or handles the inherent organization design con-flicts. The task field model of organization proposed in this paper provides a framework for handling the multiple goals and their associated organi-zational requirements. It can be used in organization analysis, design, and change programs. To demonstrate its use in a difficult design problem, the model is applied in this paper to analysis of a teaching hospital.
