Question
Give three points in support of the statement, "Organising is an important function of management."
Solution
The benefits of sound organization are discussed below :
(i) Benefits of Specialisation: Organisation is based on a division of work which leads to specialization. In other words, jobs are created which require special qualifications, training, and aptitude. People are appointed on the jobs on the basis of their area of specialization. This would lead to efficiency in performance and. better quality.
(ii) Clarity of Working Relationships: Organisation helps in creating a well-defined job and also clarifying the limits of authority and responsibility of each job. Thus, everybody working in the organization knows the amount of authority and responsibility associated with his job. This would help in reducing conflicts over use of authority by different people in the enterprise and avoid confusion and duplication of work.
(iii) Optimum Utilisation of Resources: Organisation leads to the creation of distinct jobs and departments by a systematic division of various activities. This would help in avoiding duplication of efforts and overlapping of duties among various individuals and departments. As a result, there would be an optimum utilization of all kinds of resources.
