16. Process of Organizing

17. 1. Organization is always related to certain objectives.
2. An organization implies a group of people.
3. Communication is the nervous system of organization.
4. Organization is a continuous process.
5. Organization implies a structure of relationship

Nature of Organization

18. The Changing Organization
Traditional New Organization
Stable, Inflexible, Job-focused.
Dynamic, Flexible, Skills-focused.
Work is defined by job positions.
Work is defined in terms of tasks to be
done.
Individual-oriented. Team-oriented.
Permanent jobs. Temporary jobs.
Command-oriented. Involvement-oriented.
Managers always make decisions.
Employees participate in decision
making.
Work at organizational facility during specific
hours.
Work anywhere, anytime.
Hierarchical relationships. Lateral and networked relationships.
Relatively homogeneous workforce. Diverse workforce.

19. Organizational Structure

20. • Organizational structure is the formal arrangement of jobs within an
organization.
• This structure, which can be shown visually in an organizational chart.
Organizational Structure
• Organization structure explains the position and official relationship between
various individuals in the organization.

21. Organizational structure

22. • When managers create or change the structure they’re engaged in organizational design.
• Organizational design is a process that involves decisions about six key elements:
1. Work specialization
2. Departmentalization
3. Chain of command
4. Span of control
5. Centralization and decentralization
6. Formalization
Organizational structure

23. Organizational structure
• Dividing work activities into separate job tasks.
Example: Sporting Goods factory
To meet daily output goals, the workers specialize in job tasks such as molding,
stitching and sewing, lacing, and so forth.
• Individual employees “specialize” in doing part of an activity rather than the
entire activity in order to increase work output. (Division of labour).
1. Work Specialization

24. Organizational structure
Work Specialization

25. Organizational structure
2. Departmentalization
• How jobs are grouped together is called departmentalization.
Example: A hotel might have departments such as front desk operations, sales
and catering, housekeeping and laundry, and maintenance.
• Five common forms of departmentalization are used, although an
organization may develop its own unique classification.

33. Divisional structures based on product, geography, customer, and process

34. Different forms of Departmentalization in a single company

35. 3. Chain of Command
Organizational structure
The chain of command is the line of authority extending from
upper organizational levels to lower levels.
E.g.: who reports to whom.
To understand the chain of command, three other important concepts to be
understood:
1. Authority
2. Responsibility
3. Unity of command

36. Organizational structure
3. Chain of Command
1. Authority:
Refers to the rights inherent in a managerial position to tell people what to do and
to expect them to do it.
2. Responsibility:
The obligation or expectation to perform the assigned task/work is known as
responsibility.
3. Unity of command:
Principle states that a person should report to only one manager.

37. Chain of Command and Line Authority

38. 4. Span of Control
Organizational structure
The number of employees a manager can efficiently and effectively manage.
Example:
Assume two organizations, both of which have approximately 4,100 employees.
• if one organization has a span of four and the other a span of eight.
• The organization with the wider span will have two fewer levels and approx.
800 fewer managers.

39. 4. Span of Control
Organizational structure

40. Cost: At an average manager’s salary of $42,000 a year, the organization with
the wider span would save over $33 million a year (42%).
(+) Wider spans are more efficient in terms of cost.
(-) Wider spans may reduce effectiveness if employee performance worsens
because managers no longer have time to lead effectively.
4. Span of Control

41. Wide span of controlNarrow span of control

5. Centralization and Decentralization
Centralization is the degree to which decision making takes place at upper
levels of the organization.
• If top managers make key decisions with little input from below, then the
organization is more centralized.
• If lower-level employees provide input or actually make decisions, then the
organization is decentralized.

43. • Degree of centralization in an organization depends on the situation.
• Earlier the goal was the optimum and efficient use of employees.
• Traditional organizations were structured in a pyramid.
• Today organizations have become more complex and responsive to
dynamic changes in their environments.
• Many managers believe that decisions need to be made by those individuals closest to
the problems, regardless of their organizational level.

45. Centralization Decentralization
Environment is stable. Environment is complex, uncertain.
Lower-level managers are not as experienced
at making decisions as upper-level managers.
Lower-level managers are capable and
experienced at making decisions.
Decisions are relatively minor. Decisions are significant.
Organization is facing a crisis / the risk of
company failure.
Corporate culture is open, allowing managers a
say in what happens.
Company is large. Company is geographically dispersed.
Effective implementation of company
strategies depends on managers retaining say
over what happens.
Effective implementation of company strategies
depends on managers having involvement and
flexibility to make decisions.
Centralization v/s Decentralization

46. 6. Formalization

Formalization refers to how standardized an organization’s jobs are and
the extent to which employee behaviour is guided by rules and procedures.
In highly formalized organizations,

47. Formal vs Informal Organizations
FORMAL INFORMAL

• Deliberate attempts to create
patterned relationships
• Usually shown by a chart
• Advocated by traditional theory
• Not formally planned
• Arise spontaneously as a result of
interactions
• Not depicted in a chart
• Stressed by human relation theory

work, instead, the specialists can help him solving technical problems.

58. Functional Organization
Types of Organization
(-) Violates principles of unity of command

59. The matrix structure combines elements of the functional and the divisional
structures, bringing together specialists from different areas of a business to work
on different projects on a short-term basis.
Matrix Structure
Types of Organization
• Each person on the project team reports to two bosses: a line manager and a
project manager.
