Meaning and Need
- Organisation structure is the outcome of the organising process.
- Effective structure increases profitability and is needed when an enterprise grows in size or complexity.
- Enterprises that do not change their structure may stagnate and may close down.
CBSE: Class 12
Importance
- Appropriate organisation structure is essential for smooth functioning and facing environmental changes.
- Wrong structure can seriously impair business performance and even destroy it (Peter Drucker).
CBSE: Class 12
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
Key Points: Structure of Organisation
- Organisation structure is the outcome of the organising process.

- Wrong structure can impair or destroy business performance.
- Organisation structure provides a framework and coordinates resources.
- Span of management determines levels of management in the structure.
