What is an Organisation?
“ Organisations are social arrangements for
the controlled performance of collective
goals.”
Huczynski & Buchanan: 1997:2
“ Organisation: a group of people brought
together for the purpose of achieving
certain objectives. As the basic unit of an
organisation is the role rather than the
person in it. The organisation is maintained
in existence, sometimes over long periods of
time, despite many changes of members”.
Statt:1991:02
A working definition...
“(1) a social entity that;
(2) has a purpose,
(3) has a boundary, so that that some
participants are considered outside, and (4)
patterns the activities of participants into
recognisable structure”
(Daft,1989, cited in Butler, 1991)
Task…
Draw your own organisation as a vehicle.
It could be anything vehicle you wish; Train,
Plane, Boat, Bus etc….
Consider the characteristics of your organisation,
how does that influence the design of your
vehicle?
Be prepared to defend your illustration…!
