    This document discusses key aspects of organizational structure and processes. It defines an organization as a social system of people structured and managed to meet goals. An organization's vision and mission guide its strategy, which is then implemented through its structure, systems, and processes. The vision is the desired future state, while the mission outlines how to achieve that vision. Structures can range from simple to complex matrix designs. Systems take in inputs, transform them through processes, and produce outputs. Processes comprise jobs and tasks that contribute to interim or final outputs. Together, an organization's vision, strategy, and structure, systems, and processes work to help it achieve its goals.

    Definition and Concept


    Organization is a social system of people

    who are structured and managed to meet some goals. Organizations are ongoing and the structure determines the relationship between the functions and positions. Structure also subdivides roles, responsibilities, and authority to carry out the tasks. Organizations are open systems which are affected by the environment outside its boundary.

    Vision and mission


    A vision statement is a formal statement of

    what a business wants to be. How do we make a vision? There has been a lot of research on this and various views. But Collins and Porras in their noted article Organizaiton Vision and Visionary Organization spelt out that a vision statement has to have four parts namely: 1. Core values. 2. Core purposes, 3. The Big Hairy Audacious Goal or BHAG (pronounced as Beehag) and

    Vision is the state that one wants to be

    in.
    Mission is the way of doing it.

    Strategy
    Strategy in organizations can be divided into three: Corporate strategy Business strategy Functional strategy

    Structure
    Structures can be: 1. Simple 2. Hierarchical 3. Flat 4. Adhocracy 5. Matrix 6. Team

    Systems
    Every system would have:
    Input (raw materials, for example) Throughput ( the way it is mixed or connected) ,

    and Output (a final or interim product which becomes raw material for another input)

    10

    Cont
    Processes:

    Process is a set of logical activities that lead

    to some final or interim output.


    Jobs: Each process is made of several jobs. A job is a set of similar activities. Tasks (activities)
    11

    To Conclude,
    Every organization has a vision and

    mission.
    To execute the organization vision we

    create strategies.
    Structure, systems and processes help

    the organization execute the strategies
