Organizational crises are an inevitable consequence of the nature of the organization and are manifested and resolved in different ways. The crises affect enterprises, industrial branches, the society, etc. This paper addresses a new approach to the development of crises within organizations (like inevitable consequences of the process of organizing) and the occurrence of the most common pathologies of organizations as the consequences thereof, with special emphasis on further intensification of the crisis processes and the multiplication of consequences under the conditions of transition in Serbia. The paper explains some of the most common manifest forms of organizational paradoxes and pathological conditions of the organizational structure and functioning of organizations, which are unavoidable, and which occur in all enterprises (under stationary conditions, in the enterprises operating successfully, in the regulated economies, etc.) but which easily explode in the transition or transform into even more dangerous mutations. Certainly, the pathology of environment is an additional generator of the occurrence of pathological conditions in enterprises.
