Overview: Organizing is a management function that involves allocation of organizational resources towards achievement of long-term organizational goals. Organizational Structure (OS) is the framework that defines formal reporting relationships between different positions within the organization. OS varies according to the firm’s vision, mission, and strategy. The five structural building blocks of an organization include departmentalization, division of labor, managerial hierarchy, span of control, and centralization of decision-making. Based on the aforesaid building blocks, the OS of the organization is evolved. The paper examines these issues and discusses different types of OS.
