Abstract

The origin of organization has been spontaneous. It came into existence in the early stages of human evolution when persons began to co-operate and combine together to achieve a common goal. A sound management is based on proper organizational structure, which is concerned with determining responsibility and assigning of authority to different superiors and establishing proper interrelationship among them for achieving the desired objectives. It has been rightly pointed out that an organization is not an end in itself; it is a means towards an end, i.e., the accomplishment of firm's goals.

Ralph C. Davis states that, a group of people who are co-operating under the direction of leadership for the accomplishment of a common end. Generally it has been called a system of communication, a means of problem solving, and a means of facilitating decision-making.

In the broadest sense it is clear that organizing is the process of determining the total activities to achieve a given objective, grouping and assigning of activities to individuals, delegating them authority necessary to perform the activities assigned and establishing authority relationship among different positions in the organization.

The need for an organization arises when two or more persons unite together to achieve some common objectives. This is because, it is only under such circumstance, it will be necessary to know who is to do what is to do what and how his activities are related to the activities of other persons.

The need of the organization arises when two or more persons are working together to perform a task, which no one of them can perform singly because of his physical, psychological and social limitations. organization provides a structural framework of duties and responsibilities. It on the one hand, establishes authority relationships and, on the other, provides a system of communication. Good organization enables us to achieve ends that could not have been obtained, as efficiently or as effectively through our individual efforts. As a mater of fact, organization is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. It is through organized effort that we accomplish things.
