An organization is a body built for a collection of individuals who join together to achieve some common goals and objectives bounded by legal entities. Organizations are often referred to as a company, institution, association, government body, etc.

A social unit of people that is structured and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals. All organizations have a management structure that determines relationships between the different activities and the members, and subdivides and assigns roles, responsibilities, and authority to carry out different tasks. Organizations are open systems- they affect and are affected by their environment.

The term ‘Organizing’ and ‘Organization’ are given a variety of interpretations.

In the first sense, ‘organizing’ refers to a dynamic process and a managerial activity by which different elements or parts of an enterprise are brought together to obtain a desired result.

This process places the enterprise into working order by defining and allocating the duties and responsibilities of different employees and provides it with everything useful to its functioning-raw material, tools, capital and personnel.It thus combines and co-ordinates their activities for commonness of purpose. So the term ‘organizing’ implies co-ordination and arrangement of men and materials of an undertaking in order to achieve a certain purpose. When used in the other sense, the term ‘Organizing’ is understood as the creation of a structure of relationships among various positions and jobs for the realisation of the objectives and goals of the enterprise.

In this sense, ‘Organization‘ is the vehicle through which goals are sought to be attained.
