Define Organizing Terminologies

1. Line Organization- is the most oldest and simplest method of administrative organization.
According to this type of organization, the authority flows from top to bottom in a concern. The
line of command is carried out from top to bottom. This is the reason for calling this
organization as scalar organization which means scalar chain of command is a part and parcel of
this type of administrative organization. In this type of organization, the line of command flows
on an even basis without any gaps in communication and co-ordination taking place.
2. Geographical organization- An organizational structure is how a company structures and
establishes its operations. The structure determines how the company groups people and
positions, lines of communication, chains of command, the relationships between positions,
distribution responsibilities and levels of accountability. Structures vary for each business, and
they often relate to the company's strategic goals. In this article, we discuss what a geographical
organizational structure is, when to use this organizational structure and the advantages and
disadvantages of the geographical organizational structure.
3. Departmentalization- (or departmentalisation) refers to the process of grouping activities into
departments. Division of labour creates specialists who need coordination. This coordination is
facilitated by grouping specialists together in departments.
4. Formal organization- The label “formal” is used because the concept encompasses the officially
sanctioned rules, procedures, and routines of the organization, as well as the role-defined
authority relationships among members of the organization. Standard operating procedures and
organization charts, which are essentially maps of formal authority relationships, are two of the
most important symbols (and products) of formal organization.
5. Span of control- Span of Control can be defined as the total number of direct subordinates that
a manager can control or manage. The number of subordinates managed by a manager varies
depending on the complexity of the work. For example, a manager can manage 4-6
subordinates when the nature of work is complex, whereas, the number can go up to 15-20
subordinates for repetitive or fixed work.
6. Job specialization- The process of focusing one's occupational concentration on a specific area of
expertise. An increase in job specialization among employees can make them less flexible since
it tends to reduce their ability to perform other types of work within the business that fall
outside their particular speciality.
7. Division of work- The division of work is the course of tasks assigned to, and completed by, a
group of workers in order to increase efficiency. Division of work, which is also known as division
of labor, is the breaking down of a job so as to have a number of different tasks that make up
the whole.
8. Job design- has never been more relevant. Jobs are changing faster than ever and new jobs are
invented every day. In this article, we will explain the basics of job design and how it can lead to
jobs that add value to the organization while being motivating and fun for the employee. We
also offer a proven and science-based framework that helps in designing better jobs.
9. Quantitative theory- The quantitative theory (or management science theory) considers solving
complex business problems in financial management, inventory valuation, inventory control,
production scheduling, human resource planning and other areas where quantifiable data can
be obtained.
10. System theory- Systems theory is the interdisciplinary study of systems, which are cohesive
groups of interrelated, interdependent parts that can be natural or human-made. Every system
is bounded by space and time, influenced by its environment, defined by its structure and
purpose, and expressed through its functioning.
11. Fusion theory- Identity fusion is a unique form of alignment with groups to which members
experience a visceral sense of oneness with the group. This construct relies on the distinction
between the personal self and the social self. The personal self refers to the characteristics that
make someone a unique individual (e.g., tall, old, intelligent), while the social self pertains to the
characteristics that align the individual with groups (e.g., American, fraternity brother, student
council member, etc.). As the name suggests, identity fusion involves the union of the personal
and social selves.
12. Classical theory- The classical theory implies that every complex concept has a classical analysis,
where a classical analysis of a concept is a proposition giving metaphysically necessary and
jointly sufficient conditions for being in the extension across possible worlds for that concept.
13. Disturbance handler- When an organization or team hits an unexpected roadblock, it's the
manager who must take charge. You also need to help mediate disputes within it. ... Negotiator
– You may be needed to take part in, and direct, important negotiations within your team,
department, or organization.
14. Negotiator- is a person who either comes to an agreement with someone else, or one who helps
other people reach such an agreement. ... And, when a married couple gets divorced, attorneys
or mediators do the work of negotiators, ensuring that the agreement is one that works for each
person.
15. Entrepreneur- An entrepreneur is an individual who creates a new business, bearing most of the
risks and enjoying most of the rewards. The process of setting up a business is known as
entrepreneurship. The entrepreneur is commonly seen as an innovator, a source of new ideas,
goods, services, and business/or procedures.
