Organizing Principles
The second managerial function is organizing. Every enterprise continually wrestles with the problem of how to organize/reorganize to pursue a new strategy, to respond to changing market conditions, or to successfully respond to customer expectations.
An enterprise wants to achieve a systematic, continuing improvement – Kaizen. An organization’s success begins with thorough and integrated planning and decision making – mission, goals, objectives, strategy and tactics. Planning provides the beginning while organizing converts plans into reality; it makes things happen.
A company that has taken the time, energy, and money to develop quality plans needs to organize its employees to attain these objectives and needs managers who understand the importance of organizing.
Organizing, like planning, is a process that must be carefully worked out and applied. This process involves deciding what work is needed, assigning those tasks, and arranging them into a decision-making framework.
This framework provides a structure for all jobs, making clear who has responsibility for what tasks, and who reports to whom. An organization without structure results in confusion, frustration, loss of efficiency, and limited effectiveness.
