Organization structure
The organization structure is a skeleton ora framework that divides the total activities into related groupsanddevelops superior and subordinate relationship among the persons by prescribing the authorities.
Types of organization structure:
Line, Military or Scalar organisation
- In this type of organisation,the line of authority flows directly from top to bottom and the line of responsibility from bottom to top.
- The business activities are divided into three groups i.e. finance or accounts, production and sales.
- Each department head has complete control over his sectionand he is fully authorised to select his labour, staff, purchases of raw material and to set the standards of output etc.
- The responsibility of each head is clearly defined.
- Each department works as a self-supporting unit. The textileindustry is an example of a line industry.
Functional organization
- Functional organisation divides managerial activities so that each head from the works manager down has few functions to perform as possible and is able to become a specialist in these.
- Authority from top to down is delegated according to function.
- In this type of organisation specialists like production engineer, maintenance engineer, purchase officer etc. are employed.
- Each specialist is authorised to give orders to workers, but only in regard to his field of specialisation.
Line and staff organisation
- In this type of organisation,the line heads are assisted by specialist staff.
- If the firm is of large size, managers cannot give careful attention to every aspect of management.
- Hence staff is deputed to do the work of investigation, research, recording and advising to managers.
- Thus the staff brings specialization by assisting the line officers.
- The line maintains discipline and stability, staff provides experts with information and helps to improve overall efficiency.
- Thus the staff are thinkers while the line isdoers.
