Organization is the foundation upon which the whole structure of management is built.
Organization is related with developing a frame work where the total work is divided into
manageable components in order to facilitate the achievement of objectives or goals. Thus,
organization is the structure or mechanism (machinery) that enables living things to work
together. In a static sense, an organization is a structure or machinery manned by group of
individuals who are working together towards a common goal. Alike 'management', the term
'organization' has also been used in a number of ways. Broadly speaking, the term 'organization'
is used in four different senses: as a process, as a structure of relationship, as a group of persons
and as a system.
According to Keith Davis, "Organization may be defined as a group of individuals, largeof small, that is cooperating under the direction of executive leadership in
accomplishment of certain common object."
According to Chester I. Barnard, "Organization is a system of co-operative activities oftwo or more persons."
According to Louis A. Allen, "Organization is the process of identifying and grouping thework to be performed, defining and delegating responsibility and authority, andestablishing relationship for the purpose of enabling people to work most effectively
together in accomplishing objectives."
According to Mooney and Railey, "Organization is the form of every human associationfor the attainment of a common purpose."
Organizational study is "the examination of how individuals construct organizationalstructures, processes, and practices and how these, in turn, shape social relations and create
institutions that ultimately influence people", organizational studies comprise different areas that
