Mechanics Of An Organisation

 Question: What are the mechanics of an organisation? How are these effective to achieve the objectives of an organisation? (Summer 2005)


"Organisation is more than a chart, it is the mechanism through which thw management direct, coordinates and controls the business. It is indeed the foundation of management. If the organisation plan is ill-designed, if it merely makes a shift arrangement, then management is rendered difficult and ineffective. If on the other hand, it is logical, clear - cut and streamlined to meet present day requirements then the first requisite of sound management has bee achieved."

"Organisation refers to more than the frame of the edifice. It refers to the complete body, with all its co-related functions. It refers to these functions as they appear in action - the very pulse and heartbeat, the circulation, the respiration, the vital movements, so to speak of the organised unit. It refers to the coordination of all these factors as they cooperate for the common purpose."

A good organisation results in the following advantages:

1. It facilitates administration : By dividing duties, and delegating powers and analysing jobs, the organisation siphons of the routine duties and thus frees the executives for policy formulation, forward planning and many other important jobs.

2. It promotes specialisation : By allocating duties to different individuals according to their suitability, it brings about specialisation and diversification of work.

3. It creates favourable climate for growth : By developing a large number of activities, opportunities are provided for framework within which the unit may grow.

4. It leads to creative thinking and initiatives : By providing well-defined areas of work with broad latitude for the development of new and improved ways of doing things.

Delegation is neither decentralization nor are their purpose the same.

Delegation is a process, while decentralisation is the end result of delegation and dispersal of authority. Delegation mainly refers to the granting of authority and the creation of responsibility as between the individual and superiors whereas decentralisation is the situation which exists as a result of the systematic delegation of authority throughout the organisation. In delegation, a superior continues to be responsible for the work delegated to his subordinates, while in decentralisation the superior is relieved from his responsibility for the work decentralised and the subordinate become liable for that. Delegation is vital and essential to the management process. Only through delegation, subordinates can be involved in the organisation and the management can get things done. Decentralized is optional, in the sense that it may or may not be practised as a systematic policy.
