Organization- Meaning and Definition

According to Allen an organization may be defined, "as a process of identifying and grouping the work to be performed, defining and delegating responsibility and authority and establishing relationship for the purpose of enabling people to work most effectively together in accomplishing objectives.”

According to Harold Koontz and O'Donnell, "Organising involves the grouping of activities necessary to accomplish goals and plans, the assignment of these activities to appropriate departments and the provision for authority delegation and co-ordination.”

Organization as a Framework of Relationship

According to Mooney and Reily, "organization is the form of every human association for the attainment of a common purpose.”

In the words of Chester Barnard, "A system of co-operative activities of two or more persons is called organization.”
