Organization
The word Organization has been derived from the Greek word ORGANON
which means “tools.”

Organization Defined
“A deliberate arrangement of people to accomplish some specific purpose (that
individuals independently could not accomplish alone).” S.P. Robinson.

“Employees working together and coordinating their actions to achieve specific

goals.” Koontz
In other words we can say,
“A group of people working together towards in a deliberate manner to achieve
common purpose”
The above definitions highlight three common characteristics of organization.
1. Have a distinct purpose (goals)
Every organization has distinct purpose. The purpose can be expressed in the term of
goals.
2. Composed of people
In organization there are people working in a coordinated manner to achieve the
organizations’ goals. A single person whatever his operation is big or small, can not
be considered as an organization
3. Have a deliberate Structure
Every organization has a deliberate structure which determines the manner and
extent to which roles, powers and responsibilities are delegated and coordinated and
how information flows between levels of management. However this structure
depends upon the organizations’ types, objectives and the strategy planned to achieve
them.
