ORGANISING
Its Nature and Purpose
• ‘Organising’ is the part of managing that involves establishing an intentional structure of roles for people to fill in an organization.
• It is intentional in the sense of making sure that all the tasks necessary to accomplish goals are assigned and, it is hoped, assigned to people who can execute them best.
Definition: George Terry defines Organising as,” The
establishing of effective authority relationships among selected work, persons and work places in order for the group to work together effectively.”

• An organisation structure is the design of
positions, arrangement of positions and relationship of positions in an organisation.

Formal Organisation Structure• Formal Organisation is a network of official authority –
responsibility relationships.• According to Chester Bernard,” An organisation is ‘formal’
when the activities of 2 or more persons are consciously coordinated towards a common objective.”
• Formal organisation structure has official status and recognition.
Informal Organisation Structure• According to Keith Davis, “Informal Organisation is a is a
network of personal and social relations not established or required by the formal organisation but arising spontaneously as people associate with one another.”
• These are the relationships not appearing on an organisation chart and include the sixth floor group, the Friday evening bowling gang, the morning coffee regulars etc.

• The term span of control / management refers to the number of subordinates who can be successfully supervised, directed and controlled by one supervisor or manager.
• The span of control suggests the appropriate number of subordinates a manager can manage effectively.
TALL AND FLAT ORGANISATION STRUCTUREA] Tall Organisation Structure : If the span is narrow, ie limited to 4
or less subordinates, many managers would be required in every unit of organisation and there would be many managerial levels. Such an organisation structure is known as a ‘Tall organisation’.

tB] Flat Organisation Structure : • If the span of control is wide ie each manager directs relatively
large number of subordinates (e.g. 6 or more) there would be fewer management levels.
• Such organisation structure is known as a ‘Flat Organisation Structure’.
• A wide span means fewer levels and flat/wide organisation. Managing Director General Manager

Delegation of Authority • Delegation of authority is the transfer of certain responsibilities
to subordinates and giving them the necessary power or authority which is necessary in order to discharge the responsibility properly.
• According to F.C. Moore,” Delegation means assigning work to the others and giving them authority to do so.”
Decentralisation of Authority• Decentralisation of authority is the conscious/systematic effort
to bring dispersal of decision-making power to lower levels of the organisation.
• According to Henry Fayol,” Everything that goes to increase the importance of the subordinate’s role is decentralisation, everything that goes to reduce it is centralisation.”

reA] Line Organisation Structure : In the line organisation, the line of authority moves
directly from the top level to the lowest level in a step-by-step manner.
B] Line and Staff Organisation Structure :• A combination of line and functional organisations is
made in order to create a new/superior organisation structure called Line and Staff organisation.
• In line and staff organisation, line executives and staff are
combined together. The line executives are ‘doers’ whereas staff refers to experts and act as ‘thinkers’.

reC] Matrix Organisation : • In matrix, two complementary organisation structures, i.e.
the project organisation and functional organisation are merged together in order to create a matrix structure.
• According to Koontz, O’Donnell and Weihrich, “The essence of matrix management, as one normally finds it , is combining of functional and project forms of departmentation in the same organisation structure.”
