Let’s Know

ORGANIZING

Planning

1. What is the main purpose of a business plan?

2. What are the 5 parts of planning?

After Planning, Organizing follows. The goal of this objective is to establish first
the Planning so that it will not go into waste without effective Organizing, through the
development of a designed structure of roles for effective performance.
Organizing involves assigning tasks, grouping tasks into departments, delegating
authority, and allocating resources across the organization. During the organizing
process, managers coordinate employees, resources, policies, and procedures to
facilitate the goals identified in the plan. Organizing is highly complex and often involves
a systematic review of human resources, finances, and priorities. For more
understanding about organizing let’s go to:

 What are the primary functions of managers in organizing activities?

A second key function of managers is organizing, which is the process of

coordinating and allocating a firm’s resources in order to carry out its plans. Organizing
includes developing a structure for the people, positions, departments, and activities
within the firm. Managers can arrange the structural elements of the firm to maximize the
flow of information and the efficiency of work processes. They accomplish this by doing
the following:
 Dividing up tasks (division of labor)
 Grouping jobs and employees (departmentalization)
 Assigning authority and responsibilities (delegation)

These and other elements of organizational structure are discussed in detail

elsewhere. In this chapter, however, you should understand the three levels of a
managerial hierarchy. This hierarchy is often depicted as a pyramid, as in (Figure). The
fewest managers are found at the highest level of the pyramid. Called top management,

they are the small group of people at the head of the organization (such as the CEO,
president, and vice president). Top-level managers develop strategic plans and address
long-range issues such as which industries to compete in, how to capture market share,
and what to do with profits. These managers design and approve the firm’s basic policies
and represent the firm to other organizations. They also define the company’s values
and ethics and thus set the tone for employee standards of behavior. According to, (Jack
Welch, 2001) the former CEO of General Electric, was a role model for his managers
and executives. Admirers say that he had an extraordinary capacity to inspire hundreds
of thousands of people in many countries and he could change the direction of a huge
organization like General Electric as if it were a small firm. Following his leadership,
General Electric’s executives turned in impressive results. During his tenure, General
Electric’s average annual shareholder return was 25 percent.

Week (September 10, 2001).

The Managerial Pyramid

The second and third tiers of the hierarchy are called middle
management and supervisory (first-line) management, respectively. Middle managers
(such as division heads, departmental managers, and regional sales managers) are
responsible for beginning the implementation of strategic plans. They design and carry
out tactical plans in specific areas of the company. They begin the process of allocating
resources to meet organizational goals, and they oversee supervisory managers
throughout the firm. Supervisors, the most numerous of the managers, are at the bottom

of the managerial pyramid. These managers design and carry out operational plans for
the ongoing daily activities of the firm. They spend a great deal of their time guiding and
motivating the employees who actually produce the goods and services.

tasks (division of labor), grouping jobs and employees (departmentalization), and

Let’s Connect / Let’s Analyze

and management structure of a company. It describes who does what, and how
the company ultimately produces and delivers value to consumers. Organization
