2. First step in organising is to divide the total
work to be done into specific activities.
These activities are then grouped into jobs
and each job conists of certain similar tasks,
performed by an individual or a group of
persons. This brings in specialisation of
efforts and skills.
3. The second step in organising is to
combine or group similar or related jobs into
larger units called departments, divisions, or
sections. This grouping of activities is known
as departmentation. The departments so
created linked together on the basis of their
interdependence.
4. The third step in the process of organising
is the creation of authority relationship
among the job holders or job positions.
Various position in the organisation are
arranged in a hierarchy with a clear definition
of authority and responsibility. Some
position must be placed over the others.
This will facilitate the smooth functioning of
the organisation.
5. Co-ordination of activities ensures that
the work of one employee contributes to,
rather than conflicts or overlaps with the
work of other employees. Similarly, steps
should be taken to achieve co-ordination in
the working of different departments of the
enterprise.
