This document discusses different types of organizational structures. Line and staff organization combines elements of a line organization, where authority flows vertically from top to bottom, and a staff organization, where specialists provide advice and services. In a line and staff organization, line officers have authority to make decisions and direct workers, while staff officers are experts who advise line officers. There can be conflicts as line officers are responsible for results but may neglect staff advice, while staff focus only on their departments instead of organization-wide goals.

Organizing involves determining what tasks need to be done, who will do them, and how they will be coordinated. An organization's structure arranges people and resources to accomplish goals through division of work, delegation of authority, and coordination of activities.

The document discusses line organization and functional organization. Line organization is the oldest and simplest form, with authority flowing from top to bottom in a scalar chain. It allows for unified control but lacks specialization. Functional organization divides activities into specialized functions like operations and finance, with functional specialists providing guidance.

This document discusses three main types of organizational structures: functional, divisional, and line and staff. The functional structure groups employees by specialty and reports to functional managers. Divisional structure divides the organization into autonomous divisions based on product, market, or geography. Line and staff separates roles into revenue-generating "line" managers and supporting "staff" functions. The document outlines advantages and disadvantages of each approach.Ch 5

The document discusses different types of organizational structures:
1. Line organization has a simple, hierarchical structure where authority flows from top to bottom. It allows for quick decisions but can lack specialization and coordination.
2. Functional organization groups employees by specialized functions rather than departments. This allows for greater specialization but can reduce unity of command and increase complexity.
3. Committee organization involves group decision making rather than individual authority. It benefits from diverse expertise but can slow decisions and make accountability difficult.
4. Informal organization is based on social relationships rather than formal roles. It can boost communication but may also spread rumors and pose coordination challenges for management.Functional and line staff organization Presentationh.pptx

Control,sanna1

Planning and controlling are interdependent functions that reinforce each other. Planning precedes controlling by putting activities on track through goals and strategies. Controlling then succeeds planning by monitoring activities and ensuring they stay on track to achieve goals. If planning fails due to unforeseen events, controlling can help rescue the situation. Effective controlling also provides feedback to improve future planning. Therefore, planning and controlling are inseparable and forward-looking functions that are important for the smooth and coordinated operation of an organization.Bcg new
