As a contrarian, I think the author's advice is actually wrong. Organizations do not exist in a vacuum. They are not an end in itself. The purpose of an organization is to fulfill a mission. The organization should be designed to execute its mission in the most cost effective and transparent manner.
With Non-profits, your customers are your donors. Who is funding you (sales)? What do they want (features & results)? How do you show that you are spending their money wisely (metrics & governance)? The organization is nothing more than people put in place to solidify and execute those needs.

I argue that this describes a specific type of organization in a specific environment (context). namely a business organization in a capitalist market. There exist other types of organizations. (However I may be blurring the line between organization and institution)
