 Human beings cannot live in isolation. They
are unable to fulfill their needs and desires alone,
because any one individual lacks the strength,
ability, time and potential. He has to get the
cooperation of other persons in achieving his
goals. In simple words, organisation is viewed as
a group of persons formed to seek certain goals.
Organisation is not a new and modern invention
or phenomenon.

Ever since the dawn of civilization, people have

always formed organisations to combine their
efforts for the accomplishments of their
common goals.

Introduction
The concept of organization

An organization or organisation is
an entity—such as a company, an
institution, or an association—
comprising one or more people and
having a particular purpose.
The word is derived from the Greek
word organon, which means tool or
instrument, musical instrument, and
organ.
Types of
organization
There are a variety of legal types of
organizations, including
corporations, governments, non-
governmental organizations,
political organizations, international
organizations, armed forces,
charities, not-for-profit corporations,
partnerships, cooperatives, and
educational institutions, etc.
 Structures
The study of organizations includes a focus
on optimising organizational structure.

Committees or
juries
These consist of a group of peers who decide as
a group, perhaps by voting. The difference
between a jury and a committee is that the
members of the committee are usually assigned
to perform or lead further actions after the group
comes to a decision, whereas members of a jury
come to a decision.
 02
Ecologies
This organizational structure
promotes internal competition.
Inefficient components of the
organization starve, while
effective ones get more work.
Everybody is paid for what they
actually do, and so runs a tiny
business that has to show a
profit, or they are fired.

Matrix
organization

The matrix organizational structure resembles a grid in which employees with similar
skills are grouped and report to more than one manager. This often includes a
functional manager who oversees projects and their progress and a product manager
who is responsible for the company's strategy and success regarding product offerings.
The matrix structure is typically used by large, multinational organizations and
promotes sharing skills and knowledge across departments to complete goals.

 In a hierarchical organizational structure, employees are grouped and assigned a
supervisor. It is the most common type of organizational structure. Employees may be
grouped by their role or function, geography or type of products or services they
provide. This structure is often depicted as a pyramid because there are multiple levels or
authority with the highest level of leadership at the top, their direct employees below
them and so forth.
