FREE online courses on Organisation - Departmentation-meaning

Departmentation means “group of activities and employees into departments.” It is, as Allen wrote a means of dividing the large and monolithic functional organization into smaller, flexible administrative units.

Process of Departmentation

Departmentation is done through the following processes:

(a)      Identification of tasks or duties.

(b)      Analysis of details of each task.

(c)      Description of the functions.

(d)      Entrusting the groups of functions to separate specialist heads and providing them with suitable staff.

(e)      Delineation of scope of authority and responsibility of departmental heads.
