The Process of Organizing

The purpose of organizing is to develop a structure of tasks and authority that brings about the most efficient performance of a company's entire operations. What is involved in this process? How is it accomplished?
          Two things are necessary for successful organizing is a full understanding of the functions of management-planning, organizing, directing, and controlling. This enables the organizers to identify and separate the levels of management that will be needed in the entire firm. Second, the organizers must have complete knowledge about each task to be performed. This allows them to divided each task into its basic parts so that the least amount of effort is required to accomplish them.
         Organizers usually begin with the lowest-level positions in the firm and then work their way up. Each job or task is divided into manageable parts, and then the supervision of these jobs is assigned so that everything can be directed and controlled properly. Supervisors at this level must, in turn, report to the next-higher level of management. Thus, each level of managers is responsible for the performance of employees under them, and each level is held accountable by the next-higher level of management, to which they report.
          A basic assumption throughout the organizing process is that the higher the position of employees, the greater are their qualifications and responsibilities. The result is an internal organization that provides a manager or supervisor for each person in the firm, and there are clear lines of authority throughout.
