c = 496.660 > x2
t= 7.815, df =3
p<0.05).There is a significant relationship between open system business policy model
and the management of mission hospital in South South Nigeria (Zc= 372.422 > Zt= 1.96,
a<0.05). That Open system model to large extents has assisted the mission hospitals in
South South Nigeria to benefit from its environment through exchange of information,
procurement of both input and economic resources, ability to adapt to changes in the
