INTRODUCTION

In previous chapters we concerned primarily with pits and
pieces of that makes up organization.First we analyze
organizational behaviour from the standpoint of
individual members ,how his or her learning ,personality
,perception ,attitudes and motivations effect the
organizations .Then we shifted our analyze to groups and
some of the process that accur in organization including
leadership ,communication and decision making.Shortly we
will discuss organizational structure in details also the
organizational environment and the diffferent strategies
that organizations use
BACKGROUND INFORMATION

For many years both researchers and practitioner
have been attempted to learn why some
organizations achieve higher level of perfomance
than others .empirical studies have suggested that a
success of organizations seldom depends upon a
single factor rather it largely stems from the ability
to reach and maintain a viable balance amoung a
combination of different factors.To address this
several studies have centered upon relationships
between different variable within organizational
contex and process .
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE


What is the structure of organization?
An organizational structure is a system that outlines
how how certain activities ar directed in order to
achieve the goals of an organization.These activities
can include roles and responsibilities.The
organizational structure also determine how
informations flows between the organizational
levels.

type and its used amoung many startups as the

autonomy .Companies that use that type of structure

What is the environment ?
Is the set of forces surrounding on the organization. And
that forces could be internal or external
An organization`s internal environment consists of
entities,conditions and events within the organization for
example employee`s behaviour ,the organization`s
culture and leadership styles .
External environment : are the outside events and
conditions surrounding to the company and influence its
activities .for example customers , suppliers ,competitors
,technology,economy and social /political factors .
COMPONENTS OF EXTERNAL
ENVIRONMENT


The general economy : organization that survive
through selling products or services often siffer from
economic downturn and profit from an upturn
.When a downturn accurs ,competition for remaining
customers increase ,and organizations might
postpone needed capital improvements.
Customers :all organizations have a potential
customers for their products and services .Successful
firms are generally highly sensitives to customer
reactions

Suppliers : Organizations are dependent on environment for
supplies.which include labour ,raw materials ,equipments .shortages can
cause severe difficulties.
Competitors : environmental competitors vie for resources that include
both customers and suppliers .successful companies devote considerable
energy to monotiring the activities of competitors .
Social /political factors : organizations cannot ignore the social and
political events around them .Changes in puplic attitudes toward ethnic
diversity ,the proper age for retirement ,the environment, corporate social
responsibilities or the proper role of big bussiness will soon affect them
.Frequently ,these attitudes find expression in law through the political
process .
Technology : the environment contains a variety of technologies that are
usefull for achieving organizational goals .Technology refers to ways of
doing things ,not simply to some form of mechinery .The ability to adopt
technology should enhance an organization`s effectiveness.

ENVIRONMENTAL UNCERTAINTY


In our earlier discussion of environmental components
we implied that environmnets have considerible
potential for causing confusion amoung managers
.Customers may come and go ,suppliers may turn god
to bad and competitors may make a suprising decisions
.the resulting uncertainty can be both challenging and
frustrating .ENVIRONMENTAL UNCERTAINTY : exists
when an environment is vague ,difficult to diagnose and
unpredictable .
Uncertainty depends on the environment`s complexity
(simple vs comlex ) and its rate of change (statics vs
dynamics )
AN ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY



which top executives seek to cope with constraints
and opportunities posed by an organization`s
