Organizing involves systematically arranging and grouping work activities. It becomes necessary when more than one person works together to achieve common goals. Organizing divides work into specific jobs and departments, assigns tasks and responsibilities, and establishes relationships between individuals, groups and departments. The purpose is to arrange work in a coordinated manner to efficiently accomplish organizational objectives. Key aspects of organizing include defining authority relationships, specializing functions, and coordinating efforts based on principles such as purpose, authority, responsibility and supervision.

1. Unit 3 : Organizing

2. Introduction
• Organising in a general sense means systematic
arrangement of activities. In this sense, organising is
done by each individual. However, organising as a
process of management essentially relates to sub-dividing
and grouping of activities.
• Organising becomes necessary when
two or more persons work together to
achieve some common objectives.

3. Cont.
• When a player is playing alone, there is
perhaps no need of organising. But
organising becomes important when
players are playing in a team. In that case,
it is important to determine the role of each
player and for the team as a whole to attain
victory over the rival team.

4. Cont.
• Similarly, in a one-man business, all the activities are
performed by the owner himself. But when the owner
employs someone to assist him, he has to determine
the work to be done by the employee and give him
the right to use materials, machinery, equipment, etc.
This is the point when organising becomes necessary.

5. Meaning
• Organizing refers to the way in which the
work of a group of people is arranged and
distributed among group members. The
purpose is to create a framework for the
performance of the activities of an
organization in a systematic manner. It is
important to note that the term organization
should not be used in the same sense as
organizing. Organizing is a function of
management, while organization refers to a
group of persons who have come together
to achieve some common objectives.
