has authority over whom. But it does not show the extent of
authority on the duties of each position in the organisation is
expected to perform. Therefore large organisations prepares
organisation manuals.
An organisation Manual is a small handbook or booklet
containing detailed information about the objectives, policies,
procedures, rules etc. of the enterprise. It contains job contents in
terms of duties and responsibilities.

the organisation to the employees. It serves as an instrument for
