In the context of organizational structures, explain the statement below and show one

application to an organization.

Statement:

At its best, historical sociology is rational, critical and imaginative. It looks for the mechanisms

through which societies change or reproduce themselves. It seeks the hidden structures which

frustrate some human aspirations while making others realisable, whether we appreciate it or

not. This knowledge is well worth searching for. After all, it is useful to know, in any particular

case, whether you are pushing against an open door or beating your head against a brick wall.

One of the historical sociology's objectives should be to distinguish between open doors and

brick walls and discover whether, how, and with what consequences, walls may be removed.
