Organization

Abstract

It is considered part of a manager’s daily business to change or to improve an organization. In that lots of projects deal with organization, and many companies have an organization department, it should come as no surprise that numerous books have the word organization in their titles. Business schools have standard classes on organization. One may conclude that organization is important and well understood. While I agree with the first statement, I object to the second one. In fact, there is not even agreement as to the meaning of the word organization.
