Discussing the human aspects of organizing Organizing Organizing is: Identification and classification of required Identifica tion activities. Grouping of activities necessary to attain objectives.

Organizing Provision for coordination horizontally and vertically in the organization structure To work efficiently in a team, members need to know Assigning Grouping the parts to play (roles) and how these roles relate to one another. Designing and maintaining these systems of roles is called organizing. Organizing Key Activities of organizing: They are the primary activities for which the organization exists. These are the activities that answer the questions: 1. In what area is excellence required to obtain the company’s objectives? 2. In what areas would lack of performance endanger the results, if not the survival, of the enterprise? 3. What are the values that are truly important to us in the company? For each “key activity” we need to conduct decision analysis and relation analysis. Organizing Legal Forms of Organizations: 1. Sole Proprietorship Owned and operated by one person Simple to organize and shut down Has few legal restrictions Owner is free to make all decisions Profit is taxed only once Unlimited responsibility for debts Difficult to raise capital for growth of business Duration of business is limited to the life of proprietor Organizing Legal Forms of Organizations: 2. Partnership Association of two or more partners Has relatively few legal restrictions Permits the pooling the managerial skills and judgements Divided decision making and authority might cause problems Partners have unlimited liability for debts In a limited partnership, there must be at least one general partner Limited partners are limited only to the extent of their investment Partnership is the most common form of business organization Organizing Legal Forms of Organizations: 3. Corporations Legal entities owned by shareholders Shareholder has no liability beyond loss of the value of stock Have perpetual life as long as submitting necessary reports Raising money for growth is easy Easiness in transfer of ownership and change management More difficult and expensive to organize Subject to many rules and regulations More taxing is applied Most large organizations are corporations Organizing Legal Forms of Organizations: 4. Cooperatives Special type of organization owned by users or customers Earnings are usually distributed tax free Board members managing cooperative are elected by all members Organizing Legal Forms of Organizations: Form Owners Liability Comments Simple to run Sole Decisions made by owner 1 For all debt Proprietorship Increasing capital is difficult Lifespan = owner life Wider pool to draw resources and For all debt, distributed Partnership >1 decisions ideas from. by share size Divided decision making Wider pool to draw resources from Easier to change management Corporation >1 For investment Longer life Expensive and difficult to organize Legally complex Cooperatives >1 Equal distribution Tax free Organizing Organizational Structures: Departmentalization: The division of organizations into smaller units. The type of structure needed is dependent on the organization; its size, products, and market. Patterns of Departmentalization 1. Primitive Organization: 2. Functional Departmentalization 3. Product Departmentalization 4. Geographic Departmentalization Many larger organizations use a 5. Customer Departmentalization combination of these structures. Organizing Organizational Structures: 1. Primitive Organization: Used for very small companies. Usually sole owner with very few employees. Owner Employee 1 Employee 2 Employee 3 Organizing Organizational Structures: 2. Functional Departmentalization: As company grows and there is a need for specialized individuals we start developing departments formed around specific functions.

Product Departmentalization : For companies with products requiring distinctly different production or marketing methods, then it can divide along product line.

Geographic Departmentalization : When sales regions are widespread and diverse, an organization can develop a Geographic structure.

The less number of span means more levels and the greater number of span means less level. CEO M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W Control of Span for 4 (needs 20 managers) Controlling Factors affecting span: 1. Subordinate training: Better trained subordinates means less supervision required. 2. Nature of jobs supervised Simple, similar, or physically close jobs means less supervision required Complex, dissimilar, distant jobs means more supervision is required 3. Rate of change of activities and personnel: Rapidly changing situations and personnel require greater supervision. 4. Clarity of instruction and delegation: Clearly defined, described, and delegated work requires less supervision. 5. Staff Assistance: The existence of support staff and their ability affect level of required supervision. Controlling Larger Spans of Control (20 – 30 subordinates) leads to: Reduction in administrative costs More effective and efficient organization communication Faster decisions and interaction between organizational levels Increased requirement for better training, communication, and education at all levels. Better leadership at all levels. Controlling Classification of Companies: Type Production Volume Worker Skill Equipment Management Stages or small Small General Unit High skill level Organic batches quantities equipment Many stages, Large Moderate skill Specialized Mass Mechanistic large batches quantities level equipment Continuous Large Process High skill level High automation Organic process volume Controlling Required Skills of Worker and Employee 1.

Understanding of processes such as machine fundamentals and machine and material interactions. 4. Statistical understanding (trends, and meaning of data) 5. Oral and Visual Communication 6.
