PURPOSE OF ORGANIZING

The word “organizing” stems from the word “organism”

integrated parts that are related to each other and is
governed by their relationships to the whole. The results
of combining are different part and relationships.

relationships among individuals interacting with one
another. Organizing as a tool is an end in itself but a
