2.Differentiate formal organization from informal organization.

Organization is a group of people work together, like neighborhood, association, a

charity, a union, or a corporation. It is an act of forming or establishing something. An
organization can be classified as formal and informal organization. A formal organization a
group of that is constructed and whose member are organized to achieve a specific goal.
Churches, hospitals, and companies are just few examples of a formal organization. On the other
hand, informal organization is consist of group of people and clubs or social networks are
example of it. Formal organization are oriented toward reaching a specific goals. Formal
organization are more publicly visible than informal organization. Informal organization can be
form within formal organization and also become formal over time.

The primary difference between an informal and formal organization are levels of
structure and hierarchies that determine how members interact. Formal organization are more
structured and rely on the authority based upon chains of command. Informal organization do
not require hierarchies of authority or structured internal process. Formal organizations are very
structured in order to reach stated goal. There are established laws and rules that govern labor
and norms within and enables members to work together toward the same objectives. While
informal organization tend to have more subtle norms that are expressed through customs,
morals or belief that are often not witen. Members of an informal organization mostly have
equal influence. Both formal and informal organization serve human needs and meet goals
ranging from financial to values-based. They allow people to build communities and achieve
goals that would not be possible alone.
