13.5 ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
Organisation structure is the established pattern of relationships among components or parts of the
organisation. It prescribe the relationships among various positions and activities in business.
While developing
an organisation structure,the two variables i.e. basic
structure and operating
mechanism are to be taken into consideration. The basic structure involves issues such as how the
work of the organisation is to be divided and assigned among positions, groups, departments, divisions
etc. and how to bring the required coordination for achieving organisational goals. The operating
mechanism includes factors
like information system, control procedures
and application of
organisational principles and practices.
An organisation structure serves various functions of the business. It is designed to serve specific
motives. There should also be efforts to match organisation structure with changing needs. A good
structure not only facilitates communication but also brings efficiency in different segments.
