Document Summary

Organising: the process of arranging people and other resources to work together to accomplish a goal. Organising involves creating a division of labour (work specialisation) for task performance and coordinating results to achieve a common purpose. Given a clear mission, core values, objectives and strategy, organising begins the process of implementation by clarifying jobs and working relationships. Organisational structure: the way various parts of an organisation are formally arranged. The system of tasks, workflows, reporting relationships and communication channels that link the work of diverse individuals and groups. Structure must be handled in a contingency fashion; as environments and situations change, structure must often change too. Formal: represents the way the organisation intended to function. E. g a diagram that shows reporting relationships and formal arrangement of work positions within an organisation. Identifies job titles, division of work, formal relationships, communication channels, accountability, levels of management, spans of control.
