A SUCCESSFUL
COMPANY
INTRODUCTION TO
ORGANISATIONS
For any company to succeed good communication
between departments must be free flowing.
In a small company of two or three employees this is no
problem but in a large company it is impossible for one
person to solve all the problems and make all the
decisions.
Therefore the responsibility for decision making must
be broken up into specialised groups.
Unfortunately as a department gets more specialised

less people are unable to make decisions and this can

breakdown in the flow of information.
INTRODUCTION TO
ORGANISATIONS

interrelationships between the various departments in

put it in writing to the employer asking for a safety
committee then one has to be organised
