 INTRODUCTION

An organization is an entity comprising multiple people, such as an institution or an

association, that has a collective goal and is linked to an external environment. Organizational

structure is important in managing an organization in order to ensure every unit of

community contribute their skills carrying out their roles working hand in hand building the

organization.

Vision and mission statements of an organization are a summarization of their goals

and objectives. While a mission statement describes what a company wants to do now,

a vision statement outlines what a company wants to be in the future.

An organization can have many different managers, across many different titles,

authority levels, and levels of the management hierarchy. These managers are classified in

a hierarchy of authority, and perform different tasks. The specifications of each level's

different responsibilities must be in line with managerial function to achieve vision and

mission.
