When setting up an organization, there are basic knowledge and insight that should be known by an individuals in order not to start an organization blindly without knowledge. Here are some very important things you need to know
It is an entity, such as an institution or an association that has a collective goal and is linked to an external environment. It is also a living, breathing system composed of people, money, processes, facilities, equipments and software.
Organization just like a seed if properly planted and nurtured grows into a great tree and does not end there but goes as far as producing fruits, but if left uncluttered it may not workout successful
There are varieties of legal types of organization, including corporations, government, non-governmental organizations, international organization, armed forces, charities, partnership, corporation, universities and various types of political organizations.
An organization includes a focus on optimizing organizational structure. According to management science, most humans or organizations fall roughly into four types:
Committees or juries
Ecologists
Matrix organizations
Pyramids or hierarchies
Committees or Juries
This consists of a group of peers who decides as a group, perhaps by voting. The difference between a jury and a committee is that the members of the committee is that the members of the committee who usually assigned to perform or lead further actions after the groups comes to a decision , where members of a jury come to a decision. Committees are often the reliable way to make decisions.
Ecologists
This organization has intense competition. Bad parts of the organization starve. Good ones get more work. Everybody is paid for what they actually do, and runs a tiny business that has to show a profit, or they are fired.
Matrix Organization
This organization type assigns each worker two bosses in two different hierarchies. One hierarchy is”functional“ and assures that each type of expert in the organization is well-trained and measured by a boss who is super expert In the same field. The other direction is”executive” and tries to get project completed using the experts.
Pyramid or Hierarchical
This exemplifies an arrangement with a leader who leads other individual members of the organization. This arrangement is often associated with bureaucracy
In social sciences, organizations are a object of analysis for a number of discipline such as sociology, economics, political science, psychology, management, organizational communication.
The broader analysis of organizations commonly referred to as:
Organizational structure
Organizational studies
Organizational behavior
What is Organizational Structure?
The arrangement of lines of authority, communications, rights and duties of an organization. Organizational structure determines how the roles, power and responsibilities are assigned, controlled, and coordinated, and how information flows between the different levels of management.
Organizational studies
it is the examination of how individuals construct organizational structures, processes, and practices and how these, in turn, shape social relations and create institutions that ultimately influence people. Organizational studies comprise different areas that deal with the different aspects of the organizations, many of the approaches are functionalist but critical research also provide alternative frame for understanding in the field.
Organizational behavior
It is the study of human behavior in organizational settings, the interface between human behavior and the organization, and the organization itself.
A Leader is a formal hierarchical organization, who is appointed to a managerial position, has the right to command and enforce obedience by virtue of the authority of his position. However, he must possess adequate personal attributes to match his authority, because authority is only potentially available to him. In the absence of sufficient personal competence, a manager may be confronted by emergent leader who can challenge his role in the organization and reduce it to that of a figure head. However, only authority of position has the backing of a formal sanction.
It follows that whoever wields personal influence and power can legitimize this only by gaining a formal position in the hierarchy, with commensurate authority. We also have leaders in the formal organization i.e. Divisions, Sections, Departments and Positions.
The Informal Organization consists of the Communities est. Finally an organization requires a System Thinking Approach in bringing solutions to all sector of life and also it requires the whole Sections, Departments, Division and Hierarchy to function and not just one person or the leader.
