Organic vs systematic
When the word “organic” is used in relation with “systematic”, what does it mean?
I found the following phrase in a textbook:
“organic versus systematic working cultures”
I understand that “systematic” here means something like “organized to achieve something efficiently”, but I do not quite understand what “organic” means.
Does it simply mean “badly organized”?
Could anyone please give me some examples?
Thank you in advance.

Organic means "related to living things". " Organic has been expanded to have the idea of things that naturally evolve and change within a set of rules or constraints, but without any "master plan" or end-goal. It seems to me that the contrast with "systemic" means organizations that do have an objective, master plan, or set of goals.

- Example: a master planned community versus a town without any plans for growth - it just grows in a haphazard way.

Organic means "related to living things". For example Organic Chemistry is the study of molecules that make up living things - plants and animals.Inorganic is the opposite - it means "related to non-living things."
Organic has been expanded to have the idea of things that naturally evolve and change within a set of rules or constraints, but without any "master plan" or end-goal.
