relationships for the purpose of enabling people to wor most effectively together in the
accomplishment of their ob"ectives"

Organisation is the pattern of ways in which large number of people! too many to have
intimate face#to#face contact with all others! and engaged in a comple$ity of tass! relate
themselves to each other in the conscious! systematic establishment and accomplishment of
mutually agreed purposes.

-, To cr#at# !ro!#r .alanc#: Organization structure creates the proper balance and emphasis
of activities.
Those more critical to the enterprises success might be placed higher in the
organization.
or e$ample R;D in !armac#utical com!an% might be singled out for reporting to
the managing director.
Activity of comparable importance might be placed at the lower level.
/, To $acilitat# !att#rn o$ communication: Organization structure provide pattern of
communication and coordination.
0y grouping activities and people! structure facilitates communication between people
centred on their "ob activities.
1eople who have 4oint !ro.l#m often need to share information to solve the problem.
2, To stimulat# cr#ati2it%: %ound organization stimulates ind#!#nd#nt cr#ati2# tin(ing
and initiati2# by providing well#defined areas of wor with broad attitude of the
development of new and improved ways of doing things.
3, To locat# d#cision c#ntr#s: Organization structure determines the location of decision
maing in the organization.
or e$ample! a d#!artm#ntal stor# may leave pricing decision to the lower level
manager while in oil r#$in#r% pricing decision is at top level.
4, To #ncourag# gro)t: The organization structure provide framewor within which an

of technological improvements.
PRINCIP
8/19/2019 CHAPTER 3 (Divisional Str Altered)
4/50
The activities of the enterprise should be divided according to functions and assigned
to persons according to their specialization.
/, S!an o$ control: A manager can directly supervise only a limited number of e$ecutives.
7ence! it is necessary to have a proper number of subordinates answerable to a
manager. A ma$imum of si8 may be prescribed for this purpose.
2, E8c#!tion: This principle re8uires that organization structure should be so designed that
managers are re8uired to go through the #8c#!tional matt#rs onl%.
All the routin# d#cisions should be taen by subordinates! where as problems
involving unusual matt#rs and !olic% d#cision should be referred to higher levels.
3, Scalar !rinci!l#: This is also nown as cain o$ command"
There must be clear lines of authority running from the top to the bottom.
Authority is the rigt to d#cid# dir#ct and coordinat#"
6very subordinate must now who his superior is and to whom policy matters beyondhis own authority must be referred for decision.
4, *nit% o$ command: 6ach subordinate should have only one supervisor whose command
he has to obey.
Dual su.ordination must be avoided! for it causes un#asin#ss disord#r and
indisci!lin# and und#rmin# o$ autorit%.
5, D#l#gation: 1roper authority should be delegated at the lower levels of the organization
also.
The authority delegated must be e8ual to responsibility i.e.! the manager should have
enough authority to accomplish the tas assigned to him.
9, R#s!onsi.ilit%: A superior should be held responsible for the acts of his subordinates.
(o superior should be allowed to avoid responsibility by delegating authority to his
subordinates.
:, Autorit%: The authority is the tool by which a manager is able to accomplish the desired
ob"ective.
7ence! the authority of each manager must be clearly defined.
The authority and responsibility must be co>#8t#nsi2# in the organization.
+;, E$$ici#nc%: The organization should be able to attain the mission and ob"ectives at the
minimum cost"
++, Sim!licit%: The organization structure should be as simple as possible with minimum
number of levels.
A large number of levels of organization means difficulty of effective communication
and coordination.
+-, Fl#8i.ilit%: The organization should be fle$ible! should be adaptable to changing
circumstances.
&t should permit #8!ansion and r#!lac#m#nt )itout dislocation and disru!tion of
the basic design.
8/19/2019 CHAPTER 3 (Divisional Str Altered)
5/50
A sound organization must avoid com!licat#d !roc#dur#s r#d>ta!# and #8c#ssi2#
com!lication o$ control so that it may adapt itself easily and economically to
business and technical changes.
+/, =alanc#: There should be reasonable balance in the siz# of various departments and
between c#ntralization and d#c#ntralization.
There must be balance in the formal structure as regards to factors having conflicting
claims.
+2, *nit% o$ dir#ction: There must be on# o.4#cti2# and on# !lan for a group of activities
having the same ob"ective.
8/19/2019 CHAPTER 3 (Divisional Str Altered)

(ot only tae decisions but also enforce decisions and thus perform a double role of
taing a decision and ordering its e$ecution.
E8am!l#* =oard o$ dir#ctors is an e$ample of an e$ecutive committee.
>ommittees are also classified as standing committees or ad#hoc tas forces.
3- Standing committ##s: Are formed to deal with r#curr#nt organizational !ro.l#ms"
E8am!l#: $inanc# committ## in a com!an% loan a!!ro2al committ## in a .an(
admission committ## in a coll#g# #tc"
embers of this committee are chosen because of their titl# or !osition instead of
individual 8ualifications or sills.
0- Ad>oc committ##s* 7ave a sort duration! dissolved after the tas is over! or the
problem is solved and their members are chosen for their s(ills and #8!#ri#nc#"
AD@ANTAGES:
+, 1eople get an opportunity to better understand each other@s problems and move
towards organizational goals.
-, >ommittees provide a forum for the pooling of nowledge and e$perience of many
persons of different sills! ages and bacgrounds which helps in improving the 8uality
of decisions.
/, >ommittees provide an opportunity to many persons to participate in the decision#
maing process.
2, >ommittees are an e$cellent means of transmitting information and ideas! both
upward and downward.
3, >ommittees contribute indirectly to their training and development by e$posing
members to different viewpoints.
4, >ommittees are impersonal in action and hence their decisions are generally unbiased
and are based on facts and there is no fear of single individual taing a decision.
EABNESSES:
+, Ind#cisi2#n#ss: inutes and hours are wasted by setting up a committee which taes
a longer time to get action than from an individual manager.
-, Di2#rs#d R#s!onsi.ilit%: &f a wrong decision is taen! no member can be
individually blamed which encourages irresponsibility among members of the
committee.
/, Hig costs: >an be e$pensive form of administration where huge amount is spent on
convening meetings and giving allowances to the members.
8/19/2019 CHAPTER 3 (Divisional Str Altered)

2, Domination .% $#): As the chairman often changes! influence accumulates in the
hands of some other person which may result in domination and may bring about
resistance from others.
3, Com!romis#d d#cisions: Decisions are generally based on some compromise among
members which are not best decisions which results in log> rolling"
4, onsists of large number of persons! hence difficult to maintain
secrecy.
5, 7ave a tendency to perpetuate themselves and hence difficult to dissolve them.
9, embers of the coordinating committees feel appointed to protect the interests of the
departments rather than finding appropriate solution to the problem.

TALL ORGANISATION
A narrow span results in tall organization with many levels of supervision between
top management and lowest organizational levels which creates more communication
and cost !ro.l#ms"
On the other hand! a wide span for the same number of employees results in $lat
organization with fewer management levels between top and bottom.
E8am!l#* %uppose a sales manager has +- salesmen reporting to him! his span of
management is +-.
&f he feels that he is not able to wor closely enough with each salesman and decides
to reduce the span by adding three assistant managers E each to supervise four
salesmen then his span of management is three as shown in fig.
&n doing so! he has added a level of management through which communication
between him and salesmen must pass and he has added the cost of three additional
managers.
igure* Decrease in span of control increases the number of levels.
FACTORS GO@ERNING THE SPAN OF 'ANAGE'ENT:
The following are some of the factors which influence the span of management*
+, A.ilit% o$ t# manag#r: %ome managers are more capable than others and hence can
handle a large number of subordinates.
-, A.ilit% o$ t# #m!lo%##s: &f employees are more com!#t#nt possess necessary s(ills and
moti2ation to perform the tas assigned! then less attention from the managers is re8uired
and a larger span of management can be used.
0ut if the employees are dissatisfied with their "obs or are incompetent! then close
supervision is re8uired and this will reduce the span of management.

/, #ll>d#$in#d autorit% and r#s!onsi.ilit%: >lear#cut authority and responsibility helps a
manager to supervise large number of subordinates which avoids the need to mae fre8uent
calls on supervisors for guidance and instructions.
2, Economic consid#rations: (arrow the span! taller is the structure and more is the cost due
to large number of managers with added salaries.
On the other hand! wider span reduces the number of levels and but involves e$tra
cost due to the inefficiencies that result from diminished managerial leadership.
3, T%!# o$ )or(: &f employees are doing similar 4o.s! the span of management can be
large. &f their "obs are 8uite different! a small span may be necessary.
E8am!l#: professor of a class in which every student does identical wor can handle
more students than one in which instructions! assignments and testing are
individualised.
4, G#ogra!ic location: An officer who has -3 employees in one room may be able to
supervise them well.
On the other hand a sales manager who has -3 people located in -3 different locations
would find direct supervision impossible.

that will be ac8uires by specific type of customerI e.g.! agricultural baning
department will provide loans to farmers.
Ceal estate loans will be provided to customers who plan to buy property.
&nstitutional baning will deal with institutional customers.
AD@ANTAGES:
+, Departmentation by customer emphasis on customer needs.
-, &t develops e$perience in customer area.
DISAD@ANTAGES:
+, &t may be difficult to analysis customer demands.
-, &t re8uires managers and staff e$pert in customer problems.
/, There may be duplication of facilities.
2, &t may result in under#utilisation of resources and facilities in some departments.
0- DEPART'ENTATION = N*'=ERS:
Departmentation by number is tolling of persons who are to perform the same duties
and putting them under the supervision of a single manager
The essential facts are not what these people do! where they worL Or what they wor with.
&t is that the success of the understanding depends only on the number of persons
included in it.
This method is rapidly used in army.
E8am!l#: %tudents having numbers from + to 3; are made to sit in “A” division of
their class and so on. ilitary forces also use this method.

)hen production or mareting units of an organization are geographically dispersed in
various locations! it is logical to departmentalize those units on a geographical basis.
E8am!l#: The &ndian railways are departmentalized on this basis lie north! west! south!
eastern! central are departments in this sense.
igure* Departmentation by Cegions
AD@ANTAGES:
ollowing are the advantages of departmentalization on the basis of geography*
+, Em!asis on local mar(#t: The local marets can gain benefit as service is provided
according to geography.
&t helps develop that maret.
-, Im!ro2#s coordination: >oordination within the geographical unit is
better because all functional departments operate at the geographic region./, Fac#>to>$ac# communication: There is better communication between the service
provider and service receiver.
2, &t enables the organization to compare regional performances and invest more
resources in profitable regions and withdraw resources from unprofitable ones.
3, &t enables the organization to tae advantage of location factors! such as availability of
raw materials! labour! maret etc.
DISAD@ANTAGES:
+, Pro.l#ms o$ control: As the functions are dispersed! therefore control cannot be
e$ercised effectively.
-, R#uir#s mor# uman ca!ital: from the above it is deduced that more people are
re8uired with general managerial activities.
