Nature and Types of Organizations

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at what defines an organization, explains the different types of organizations and the conditions necessary for their survival, and looks at the purpose of organizations and the needs they address. The different types of organizational structures are highlighted as well as the leadership, motivation, and decision making processes in organizations.

From the Paper:

"The life of the organization is derived from knowing the purpose of the organization, knowing the people who the organization serves, and allowing the organization to take on the form which services its goals and beneficiaries. Just as attempting to open a can of soup with a sledge hammer would create an unsuitable outcome for the soup, and the hungry consumer, organizing a group of people is more than having a desire to perform a service, and having a group of people who are willing to work on that desire. The structure of the organization is a dependant variable on the purpose of the group. Within the structure, the leadership, communication, decision making, and channels these elements follow will all affect the level to which the organization rises in achieving its goals and purposes."
