Organizing is defined as the harmonious arrangement of specialized parts to accomplish a common objective. It involves defining and grouping activities, establishing authority relationships, and enabling people to work together effectively to achieve objectives. Key aspects of organizing include the division of work into tasks and groups, coordination among specialized parts, and defining relationships and responsibilities to facilitate goal accomplishment. Organizing helps ensure specialization and optimal resource use, enables adaptation to change, and provides for effective administration, development of personnel, and expansion of the organization.
