    Organizational Behavior

    Dr. Prasanjit Dasgupta


    What is an Organization?

    •Organization can be defined as a collective social unit deliberately created by


    a group of people to accomplish specific goals and purposes within a loosely
    delineated boundary on a continuing basis with enabling factors for sustained
    growth.
    • Key elements outlined in this definition are:
    • Organization is a collective social unit;
    • It has specific goals and purposes;
    • It has loosely delineated boundary;
    • It operates in continuing basis;
    • It has enabling factors.
    Types of Organization

    •Mutual Benefit Associations;


    • Business Organizations;
    •Service organizations;
    •Commonweal Organizations
    Types of Structure

    • Simple Structure: The entrepreneurial organizations in formative phase are


    typically small in size with no defined rules, procedures and systems. It is
    characterized by simple structure where decision making and control are
    centralized with owner. There is low degree of departmentalization, wide span
    of control and centralized authority.
    • Functional Organization: The organization is divided into a number of
    functional areas. Each function is performed by a specialist who operates with
    considerable independence. This functional specialist has authority over all
    employees of the function. It is usually appropriate for single product,
    technology and market.
    Types of Structure

    •Bureaucratic Organization is characterized by a structure with highly routine


    operating tasks achieved throughout the organization, very formalized rules
    and regulations, tasks are grouped into functional departments, narrow span of
    control, and decision making following the chain of command.
    • Product/Market Organization brings together all those involved in production
    and marketing of a product or a number of products. When a company’s
    departmentalization becomes too complex for coordination top management
    creates semi autonomous structure.
    Types of Structure

    •Project Organization model is adopted when an organization has to execute


    large projects of long duration. It is effectively applied when:
    The project offers a unique or unfamiliar challenge;
    The project has definite goals and well defined specifications;
    The project is complex with interdependent tasks;
    Successful completion of the project is critical to the organization
    The assignment to be completed within the given time limit.
    • Matrix Organization refers to a structure in which each employee reports to
    both functional and divisional manager. It is a structure that creates dual line of
    authority and combines functional and product departmentalization.
    • Strategic Business Unit (SBU) refers to separate operating division of a
    company with considerable degree of autonomy. It is a business unit within
    overall corporate identity which serves a defined external market where
    management can formulate independent strategies.
