Question

What are the determinants of an organization?

Answer 1

An organizational structure consists of activities such as task allocation, coordination and supervision, which are directed towards achievement of the organizational aims. It can also be considered as viewing glass or perspective through which individuals see their organization and its environment.

Organizations are a variant of clustered entities. An organization can be structured in different ways, depending on the objectives. The structure of an organization will determine modes in which it operates and performs its operations.

Organizational structure allows expressed allocation of responsibilities for different functions and processes to different entities such as the branch, department, workgroup and individuals.

Organizational structure affects the organizational action in two big ways i.e. first, it provides the foundation on which standard operating procedures and routines rest. Second, it determines which individuals get to participate in which decision-making processes, and thus to what extent their views shape the organization's actions.
