This document discusses organizational structure for a university. It begins by defining an organization and outlining the purpose and importance of organizational structure. Specifically, organizational structure divides work into jobs and departments, coordinates tasks, establishes relationships and lines of authority, and allocates resources. This increases effectiveness, efficiency, reduces redundancy, and promotes teamwork and communication. For a university, organizational structure deals with human resources, curriculum, communication reporting mechanisms, resources/finances, and record keeping. It establishes interaction between people and relationships between superiors and subordinates in terms of reporting chains and spans of management, as well as formal communication channels.
