Organizing
It is a group of people that work together, coordinate and collaborate their actions to
achieve a broad scope of goals.
This relates to the structuring of resources and activities to accomplish objectives in an
efficient and effective manner.
The process of organization involves dividing the work in rational way and integrating
the activities with work situation and personnel.
The structure of organization is a network of internal responsibility and authority
relationships.
BASIC elements of organizational structure
1. Work specialization- the degree to which tasks are divided in the organization.
Specialization promotes efficiency.
2. Departmentation – refers to the grouping of jobs based on criteria that managers
believe help in the coordination and control of activities.
3. Pattern of authority – as an element in designing organizational structure refers to the
extent by which organization members are allowed to make decisions without getting
the approval of another member.
Authority Patterns
Centralized – when decision making is concentrated in the hands of higher-level
managers.
Decentralized – when decision making authority is granted to middle and lower level
management positions.
4. Span of control – another consideration in designing the organizational structure.
Refers to the number of subordinates reporting to a single supervisor.
5. Coordination of activities – this term refers to the linking of activities in the
organization that serve to achieve common goal or objective.
Types of Organization Structure (formal Organizational Structure)

(Staff personnel who are specialists in some fields are given functional
authority.
3. Divisional Organizational Structure

manager assigns particular responsibility to the subordinates for the completion of
certain tasks on his behalf. An individual has to apply his physical and mental ability to
get the job completed efficiently
2. Authority – to fulfil the duty, certain authority is delegated to the subordinate. Authority
means the power to take decisions independently and accomplish the task efficiently.
The authority must be equal to the responsibility, this means, a certain level of authority
which is sufficient to complete the responsibility.
3. Accountability – means to check whether the subordinates are performing their
responsibilities in an expected manner or not. The accountability cannot be delegated
which means, in the case of non-completion of the task, the manager will only be held
responsible for it, not the subordinates.

Behavioral theories
Focus in how leaders behave and assume that leaders can be made, rather than born and
successful leadership is based on definable, learnable behavior.
Three types of leaders, Kurt Lewin (1930)
1. Autocratic Leaders (authority)-make decisions without consulting their teams.
Considered appropriate when decisions need to be made quickly when there’s no need
for input, and when team agreement isn’t necessary for a successful outcome.
2. Democratic Leaders (democracy) - allow team to provide input before making a
decision, although the degree of input can vary leader to leader. This style is important
when team agreement matters, but it can be difficult to manage when there are lots of
different perspectives and ideas.
3. Laissez-faire Leaders - don't interfere; they allow people within the team to make the
decisions. This works well when the team is highly capable, is motivated, and doesn’t
need close supervision. However, this behavior can arise because the leader is lazy or
distracted; this is where this style of leadership can fail.
Contingency Theories - How Does the Situation Influence Good Leadership?
The realization that there is no one correct type of leader led to theories that the best
leadership style depend on the situation. These theories try to predict which style is the best in
which circumstance.
Power and Influence Theories - What is the Source of the Leader's Power?
Authority and influence theories of leadership take an entirely different approach-these
are based on the different ways that leaders use power and influence to get things done, and they
look at the leadership styles that emerge as the result.
French ad Raven’s Five Forms of Power
BASES of POWER
The power possessed by leaders may be classified according to various bases.
P 1. Legitimate power. A person who occupies a higher position has legitimate power over
O
S
persons in lower positions within the organization.
I 2. Reward power. When a person has the ability to give rewards to anybody who follows
T
I orders or requests, he is said to have reward power.
O Two forms of reward power
N
A Material rewards – refer to money or other tangible benefits
L
Psychic rewards – consists of recognition, praises and so on.
P 3. Coercive power – when a person compels another to comply with orders through threats
E
R
or punishment.
S 4. Referent power – when a person can get compliance from another because the latter want
O
N to be identified with former, that person is said to have referent power.
A
L
5. Expert power – experts provide specialized information regarding their specific lines of
expertise. People possess this influence, called expert power, with great skills in
technology.
Communication can help your employees collaborate effectively, which will make for a
more productive team overall. Communication can ensure that everyone is on the same
page and prevent problems down the road.

Controlling
One of the main functions of management. It comes after planning, organizing, staffing,
leading/directing. Aimed at determining if objectives were realized and by providing
means for achieving unrealized goals.
It is the measurement of accomplishment against the standards and correction of
deviations to assure attainments of objectives according plans. (Knootz & O’Donnell)
Determining what is being accomplished that is, evaluating the performance and if
necessary, applying corrective measure so that the performance takes according plans.
(G.R. Terry)
Consists in verifying whether everything occurs in conformity, is with the plans adopted
the instructions issued and principles established. It has for its object to point out
weaknesses and errors to rectify them and prevent recurrence. (H. Fayol)
Performance standards
Top managers control their organization by establishing certain performance
standards. These performance standards are often just more clearly defined
objectives.
• Budgets are necessary to highlight the financial implications of plans, to define the
resources required to achieve these plans and to provide a means of measuring, viewing
and controlling the obtained results, in comparison with the plans.
• Budgets are excellent communication tools, pointing out the operational and financial
objectives of the period.
• Budgeting helps set standards that can control the use of a company’s resources and
control and motivate the employee.
Preparation of Budget Plan
Preparing your Budget
It can take a lot of time and effort to draw up an actual budget. So start work on it
as soon, as is possible, don’t leave until you have the application form to fill in.
Working out your budget
Make sure that the figures are as accurate as possible, don’t just guess, and ask
other similar organizations what their costs get estimates or use catalogs or the internet to
find out how much things are.
You might want to break down your budget into groups that include things like:
Staff- salaries, national insurance, travel and training etc.
Premises-rent, heat, light, insurance, cleaning etc.
Resources-books, subscription, etc.
Admin/Stationery-stamps, phone, stationery, photocopying, etc.
Training and Development- Training fees, development costs.
Reviewing the Budget
Budgets aren’t simply a means of getting a grant. They also act as guide
during the year as to whether you are spending your money as planned; it will
also warn you if you are under or over spending in unexpected areas. Your
committee should look at your budget every month to check spending against
income and review your fundraising activities if necessary.
