Organizing Defined

          Organizing is designing a formal structure of tasks and authority in which people and material resources are arranged to carry out plans and objectives. In everyday language, this definition means that the total work of the firm must be divided into its basic parts: conducting research, financing, hiring personnel, buying materials, manufacturing products, marketing, and selling. The parts are then divided into manageable work units. Managers must determine how much material resources and how many people are needed for each work unit, and they must establish a sequence of steps to get the whole job done. These are the basic tasks in the complete organizing function.
