Examples
Anything is commonly considered organized when it looks like everything has a correct
order of placement. But it's only ultimately organized if any element has no difference on
time taken to find it. In that sense, organizing can also be defined as to place different
objects in logical arrangement for better searching.
Organizations are groups of people frequently trying to organize some specific subject,
such as political issues. So, even while organizing can be viewed as a simple definition, it
can get as complex as organizing the world's information.
History
Historically, humans have always tried to organize ourselves. Be it on religion, through
books and spoken word, or in science, through journals and studies, or in many other
ways. Writing ideas in a book, not to talk to someone, but to specifically catalog is also
an attempt to organize information.
Applications
Organizing, in company’s point of view, is the management function that usually follows
after planning. And it involves the assignment of tasks, the grouping of tasks into
departments and the assignment of authority and allocation of resources across the
organization.
Structure
The framework in which the organization defines how tasks are divided, resources are
deployed, and departments are coordinated.
Work specialization
• The degree to which organizational tasks are sub divided into individual jobs; also
called division of labor
• With too much specialization, employees are isolated and do only a single, tiny,
boring job.
Many organizations enlarge jobs to provide greater challenges or assigning to tasks that
are rotated.
Chain of command
• An unbroken line of authority that links all individuals in the organization and
specifies who reports to whom.
o Unity of Command - one employee is held accountable to only one
supervisor
o Scalar principle - clearly defined line of authority in the organization that
includes all employees
Delegation
Span of management
The basis on which individuals are grouped into departments and departments into total
organizations.
