This document discusses different types of organizational structures and organizing functions. It begins by defining organizing as identifying and grouping work, delegating responsibility and authority, and establishing relationships to enable efficient work. The key types discussed are:
Line structure with direct vertical authority; Functional structure grouping by skills; and Divisional structure grouping by product, program or region. Bureaucratic/mechanistic structures are formal and centralized, while organic/adaptive structures are flexible. Organizing aims to achieve goals, optimize resources, and facilitate growth through specialization, coordination, and clear job definitions.
