Abstract
The first axiom of the Ψ-theory states that the operation of an enterprise is constituted by the activities of actor roles, which are elementary chunks of authority and responsibility, fulfilled by subjects. In doing so, these subjects perform two kinds of acts: production acts and coordination acts. These acts have definite results: production facts and coordination facts, respectively. The axiom is commonly referred to as the operation axiom.
