Definition of Organizations " Organization is the process of identifying and grouping the work to be performed, defining and delegating responsibility and authority, and establishing relationship for the purpose of enabling people to work most effectively together in accomplishing objectives. by Louis A. Allen " Organization may be defined as a group of individuals, large of small, that is cooperating under the direction of executive leadership in accomplishment of certain common object. by keith Davis 'organisation' is used in four different senses: Organisation as a Process: a dynamic process and a managerial activity planning the utilization of company's resources Organisation as a Framework of Relationship: structure of relationships and among position jobs which is created to release certain objectives. Organisation as a Group of persons: group of persons contributing their efforts towards certain goals. Organisation as a System: organizations are made up of components each of which has unique properties, capabilities and mutual relationship. Organization theories Organization theory refers to the study of the phenomena of organizational functioning and performance and of the behavior of Groups and individuals working in them. There are several theories which explain the organization and its structure. Organization theories CLASSICAL ORGANIZATION THEORY NEOCLASSICAL THEORY MODERN ORGANIZATION THEORY Classical vs. Neoclassical Theory Modern theories Modern theories are based on the concept that the organization is an adaptive system which has to adjust to changes in its environment. Modern theories include the systems approach, the socio-technical approach, and the contingency or situational approach. The systems approach considers the organization as a system composed of a set of inter-related - and thus mutually dependent - sub-systems. Thus the organization consists of components, linking processes and goals. The socio-technical approach considers the organization as composed of a social system, technical system and its environment. These interact among themselves and it is necessary to balance them appropriately for effective functioning of the organization. The contingency or situational approach recognizes that organizational systems are inter-related with their environment and that different environments require different organizational relationships for effective working of the organization.
