Organizing and Organiztions
Session objectives
At the end of this session students will be able to :
 Define an organization and organizing function
 Understand organizational design and structure
 Contrast mechanistic and organic structural designs
3
Organizing
Next step after planning.
 A key issue in accomplishing the goals identified in the
planning process.
structuring the work of the organization.
Is a process of deciding what work needs to be done,
Is the process of arranging and allocating work,
authority and resources among organization members
to achieve goals.
4
The Importance of Organizing
• It is the primary mechanisms managers use to activate plans
• It creates and maintains relationships between all
organizational resources by indicating which resources are to
be used for specified activities and when, where, and how they
are to be used.
• managers minimize costly weakness, such as duplication of
effort and idle organizational resources.
5
The steps in the organizing process include:
1. Review plans,
2. List all tasks to be accomplished,
3. Group related jobs together in a logical and efficient manner,
4. Assign work to individuals,
5. Delegate authority
6
Organization
Two or more people who work together in a structured way to achieve
a specific goal or set of goals.
Types of Organizations
- Many types: manufacturers, associations, political parties,
community associations, hospitals, etc.
formal and informal
• In both people are kept together
 believing there is a benefit working together to achieve a common
goal
7
Characteristics of organizations:
Whatever their purpose, all organizations have four characteristics:
1. Coordination of effort
2. Common goal or purpose
3. Division of labor, and
4. Hierarchy of authority.
8
Organizational Structure
• The way, in which an organization’s activities are divided,
organized and coordinated.
• Is the formal decision-making framework by which job
tasks are divided, grouped, and coordinated. Why formal?
• It is the official organizational structure built by top
management.
• Formalization is an important aspect of structure.
9
Organizing….
Organization charts/high level maps/
The formal organization can be seen and represented in chart
form.
The chart represents channels through which authority,
power and responsibilities flow.
Displays the organizational structure and shows job
titles, lines of authority, and relationships between
departments.
Is helpful for managers as it is an organizational blue
print for deploying human resource.

Organizing…
Why do we need an organizational structure?
A clear organizational structure
• Clarifies the work environment,
• Creates a coordinated environment,
• Achieves a unity of direction, and
• Establishes a chain of command
12
Views(types) of organizational design
1) Mechanistic System (Tall structure )
• Traditional or classical design
– common in medium & large sized organizations.
• Organizational activities are broken down into separate,
specialized tasks
• Objectives for each individual & units are precisely
defined by top level managers.
• It is best suited to a stable environment
13
Views on organizational design
2. Organic system (flat structure)
• More flexible, adaptable to a participative form of
management
• Open to the environment
• Less emphasis on taking orders from a manager or
giving orders to employees
• Organizational members must be skilled at solving a
variety of problems
• Creative problem solving & decision making.
14
Organizing….
Functional Steps in Organizing
• The four building blocks of organizing are:
Division of work
Departmentalization
Hierarchy
Coordination
15
Organizing….
1. Division of work / Division of labour/ work
specialization
• Is the degree to which tasks in an organization are divided into
separate jobs.
• Is breaking of a complex task into components
Individuals are responsible for a limited set of activities
instead of the entire task.
• Placing capable people in each job ties directly with
productivity improvement.
16
Organizing….
2. Departmentalization
• Once work activities are divided in to jobs or jobs have been
classified through work specialization,
they are grouped so those common tasks can be
coordinated and can be similarly and logically connected.
• Departmentalization is the basis on which work or individuals
are grouped into manageable units.
 Each single box in an organizational chart represents
departments
17
Organizing…
3. Hierarchy
 A concept that shows how many could be effectively handled
 A pattern of multiple levels of an organizational structure
 At the top the senior-ranking manager
 Bottom - low-ranking managers located at various levels
18
Hierarchy
Span of management or span of control
• The number of people/departments directly reporting to a
given manager.
 After work is divided, departments created and span of
control chosen decide on chain of command.
Chain of command
• The plan that specifies who reports to whom
• Fundamental feature of an organization
The result of the two decisions lead to a pattern: hierarchy
19
Hierarchy…..
• Unity of Command: Each employee must receive instructions
from only one person.
– If an employee reported to more than one manager, conflicts in
instructions and confusion of authority would result.
• Unity of Direction:should be directed by only one manager
using one plan.
20
Hierarchy….
Span of management / control
Does it have an effect
on working relationships and
on the speed of decision making? How?
The classical view of span of control :
• should have limited numbers of subordinates
• Their conclusion was based on the ability of managers to
exercise close control
A. Too wide: Create flat hierarchies (fewer management levels
between the top and the bottom)

Factors affecting span of control
1. Level of profession & training of staff:
– Skilled staff require less close supervision (Wider
spans of control)
2. Level of uncertainty in the tasks to be done :
– Complex & varied works require close supervision
(narrower spans of control )
25
Factors affecting span of control…
3. Degree of standardization of tasks :
– Standardized tasks require less frequent supervision
compared to less standardized ones (wider spans of control )
4. Abilities & personal qualities of the managers themselves
26
Organizing…
4.Coordination:
• The integration of activities of separate parts of an
organization for accomplishing the organizational goals
Integration: the degree to which various departments work
in a unified manner
The degree of coordination depends on:
• Nature of task
• Degree of interdependence of people in the various units
• Eg. Clinical services
27
High degree of coordination is needed:
• When communication between units is important
• For non-routine & unpredictable works
• When organizations are challenged with unstable
environment
• When there is high interdependence between units
• When the organization has set high performance objectives
• For highly specialized task such as coordination among
different organizations
28
Approaches to achieving effective coordination
• Using basic management techniques
1. Specify relationships (managerial hierarchy or chain of
command)
2. Set rules and procedures
3. Management ByWalkingAround (MBWA)
