Organizing

Organizing is nothing but realizing the business goals.Towards this,the first step is creating a legal entity.This is called creating an organization.

There are different options available for the same.It can be sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation /co-operative dependent etc..We have to consider the objectives,activities,authority and several other aspects in the process of organization.It mainly deals with identifying the activities,grouping them,assigning the work as required and taking care of the reporting structure.Departmentalization can be done based on the activity,products/services,geography or people/language.

Hierarchy and Span of control:

Span of control gives us the number of people reporting to the authority. Organizational structures can be described by the number of levels of hierarchy; those with many levels are called “tall” organizations. They have numerous levels of middle management, and each manager supervises a small number of employees or other managers. That is, they have a small span of control. Conversely, “flat” organizations have fewer levels of middle management, and each manager has a much wider span of control.
