Importance

  • Wrong structure can seriously impair business performance and even destroy it (Peter Drucker).

Framework and Span of Management

  • Organisation structure is the framework within which managerial and operating tasks are performed and relationships between people, work and resources are specified.
  • It coordinates human, physical and financial resources and is shown in an organisation chart.
  • Span of management (number of subordinates a superior can manage) shapes the organisational structure and determines levels of management.
CBSE: Class 12

Example - Sunita’s Travel Agency

  • Sunita opens a travel agency and divides work into three subheads: operations, sales and administration.
  • Operations: travel counsellor, reservation and ticketing, customer care; Sales: accounts executive; Administration: book keeper, cashier, utility personnel.
  • This division of work on the basis of functions results in an organisational structure specifying the line of authority and responsibility.
CBSE: Class 12
