AUTHORS:DR. K IRAN NERKARDR. VILAS CHOPDE
An organization comes into existence when there are a number of persons in communication and relationship to each other and are willing to contribute to a common endeavor. ---Barnard
A social relationship which is either closed or limits the admission of outsiders by rules, will be called a 'corporate group' (Verband) so far as its order is enforced by the action of specific individuals whose regular function this is, of a chief or 'head' (Leiter) and usually also an administrative staff. These functionaries will normally also have representative authorities. --- Weber
