| communication channels develop outside the organizational structure: Management Angelo Kinicki, Brian K. Williams, 2003 Blending scholarship and imaginative writing, ASU business professor Kinicki (of Kreitner/Kinicki Organizational Behavior 5e) and writer Williams (of Williams/Sawyer Using Information Technology 5e) have created a highly readable introductory management text in an exciting magazine-like layout certain to be well received by today's visually oriented students. The authors have structured Management as a series of two-page spreads (i.e., left and right facing pages) of 2 - 6 pages per section, to optimize learning by presenting information in easily mastered bite-size chunks. Besides presenting fundamental concepts of management, the book emphasizes practical advice throughout, expressed in the features The Manager's Toolbox, Practical Action boxes, real-life Example boxes, real-life Management in Action and Ethical Dilemma cases, and the Web-based Taking Something Practical Away from this Chapter. |
| communication channels develop outside the organizational structure: The Structuring of Organizations Henry Mintzberg, 2009 Synthesizes the empirical literature on organizationalstructuring to answer the question of how organizations structure themselves --how they resolve needed coordination and division of labor. Organizationalstructuring is defined as the sum total of the ways in which an organizationdivides and coordinates its labor into distinct tasks. Further analysis of theresearch literature is neededin order to builda conceptualframework that will fill in the significant gap left by not connecting adescription of structure to its context: how an organization actuallyfunctions. The results of the synthesis are five basic configurations (the SimpleStructure, the Machine Bureaucracy, the Professional Bureaucracy, theDivisionalized Form, and the Adhocracy) that serve as the fundamental elementsof structure in an organization. Five basic parts of the contemporaryorganization (the operating core, the strategic apex, the middle line, thetechnostructure, and the support staff), and five theories of how it functions(i.e., as a system characterized by formal authority, regulated flows, informalcommunication, work constellations, and ad hoc decision processes) aretheorized. Organizations function in complex and varying ways, due to differing flows -including flows of authority, work material, information, and decisionprocesses. These flows depend on the age, size, and environment of theorganization; additionally, technology plays a key role because of itsimportance in structuring the operating core. Finally, design parameters aredescribed - based on the above five basic parts and five theories - that areused as a means of coordination and division of labor in designingorganizational structures, in order to establish stable patterns of behavior.(CJC). |

| communication channels develop outside the organizational structure: Perspectives on Workplace Communication and Well-Being in Hybrid Work Environments Duarte, Alexandre, Dias, Patrícia, Ruão, Teresa, Andrade, José Gabriel, 2023-05-08 The world has been facing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic for over two years now. Daily life changed dramatically, and social distancing and remote working have become the new normal. Research about how people are facing these challenges points to common findings and concerns. The pandemic has enhanced inequalities, taken a toll on mental health, and increased the use of digital technologies. Many workers are suffering from digital fatigue and struggle to self-regulate their life/work balance, as the permanent digital connection to work is reinforced and they struggle with the blurred borders concerning privacy, leisure, and rest. In this context, it is vital to research how organizations have reinvented themselves to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic and understand which of the reactive workplace communication practices and improvised solutions were considered advantageous. Perspectives on Workplace Communication and Well-Being in Hybrid Work Environments presents different approaches that explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on workplace communication, focusing specifically on internal communication, mapping new communication practices, and assessing their consequences, namely the well-being of the workers who are coping with these changes. The book combines a scientific exploration of these ongoing changes as we transition to a post-COVID-19 world with a collection of examples and best practices that help organizations in supporting their members through these transformations and in nurturing their well-being. Covering topics such as cross-department process dependencies, hybrid work environments, and wellbeing strategies, this premier reference source is a vital resource for business leaders and managers, IT managers, human resource professionals, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians. |

| communication channels develop outside the organizational structure: Organising - English Navneet Singh, Organizing is a fundamental function of management that involves arranging resources and tasks in a structured way to achieve organizational goals efficiently. Here’s a comprehensive overview of organizing in management: Definition of Organizing: Organizing refers to the process of structuring, arranging, and coordinating organizational resources (such as people, materials, and equipment) and activities to achieve objectives effectively. It entails creating a formal structure of roles, responsibilities, and relationships within the organization to facilitate smooth workflow and optimal performance. Key Elements of Organizing: Structuring Roles and Responsibilities: Job Design: Defining job roles, responsibilities, tasks, and authority levels for each position within the organization. Departmentalization: Grouping of activities and resources into departments or functional areas based on similarities in tasks, functions, or product/service lines (e.g., marketing, finance, operations). Establishing Authority and Accountability: Authority: Granting decision-making power and the right to give orders to achieve organizational objectives. Accountability: Holding individuals and teams responsible for achieving specific outcomes and results. Creating Organizational Structure: Organizational Chart: Visual representation of the hierarchical structure, showing relationships, reporting lines, and communication channels among departments, positions, and individuals. Span of Control: Determining the number of subordinates or employees a manager or supervisor can effectively supervise and manage. Coordination and Integration: Integration of Efforts: Ensuring synergy and alignment among different departments and functions to avoid duplication of efforts and enhance collaboration. Coordination: Facilitating communication, cooperation, and harmonization of activities across various organizational units to achieve common goals. Process of Organizing: Identifying Activities: Analysing organizational goals and objectives to determine the specific activities and tasks needed to achieve them. Grouping Activities: Grouping related activities into departments, units, or teams based on functional similarities, product lines, geographical locations, or customer segments. Assigning Duties: Allocating responsibilities and assigning tasks to individuals or teams based on their skills, expertise, and job descriptions. Delegating Authority: Granting decision-making authority, resource allocation, and accountability to individuals or positions to carry out assigned tasks. Establishing Relationships: Defining reporting relationships, communication channels, and lines of authority within the organizational structure to facilitate effective decision-making and workflow. Monitoring and Adjusting: Continuously monitoring organizational performance, evaluating the effectiveness of the organizational structure, and adjusting as necessary to improve efficiency and adapt to changing conditions. Importance of Organizing: Efficiency: Organizing helps in streamlining workflow, eliminating duplication of efforts, and optimizing resource allocation, thereby enhancing operational efficiency. Clarity and Structure: It provides clarity regarding roles, responsibilities, and reporting relationships, reducing ambiguity and promoting accountability. Flexibility: A well-organized structure allows organizations to adapt to changes in the external environment and internal demands more effectively. Coordination: Effective organizing facilitates better coordination and integration of activities across different departments and functions, promoting teamwork and collaboration. Challenges in Organizing: Resistance to Change: Employees and managers may resist changes in organizational structure or job roles due to uncertainty or fear of job insecurity. Complexity: As organizations grow, maintaining a balance between centralization and decentralization and managing a complex organizational structure can be challenging. Adaptability: Organizing must be adaptable to accommodate rapid technological advancements, market shifts, and evolving customer preferences. Conclusion: Organizing is a pivotal function of management that structures organizational resources and activities in a systematic manner to achieve goals effectively and efficiently. By establishing clear roles, responsibilities, and relationships within the organization, organizing facilitates coordination, enhances operational performance, and supports the overall success and sustainability of the organization in a competitive business environment. |

| communication channels develop outside the organizational structure: Developing an Enterprise Continuity Program Sergei Petrenko, 2022-09-01 The book discusses the activities involved in developing an Enterprise Continuity Program (ECP) that will cover both Business Continuity Management (BCM) as well as Disaster Recovery Management (DRM). The creation of quantitative metrics for BCM are discussed as well as several models and methods that correspond to the goals and objectives of the International Standards Organisation (ISO) Technical Committee ISO/TC 292 Security and resilience”. Significantly, the book contains the results of not only qualitative, but also quantitative, measures of Cyber Resilience which for the first time regulates organizations’ activities on protecting their critical information infrastructure. The book discusses the recommendations of the ISO 22301: 2019 standard “Security and resilience — Business continuity management systems — Requirements” for improving the BCM of organizations based on the well-known “Plan-Do-Check-Act” (PDCA) model. It also discusses the recommendations of the following ISO management systems standards that are widely used to support BCM. The ISO 9001 standard Quality Management Systems; ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems; ISO 31000 Risk Management, ISO/IEC 20000-1 Information Technology - Service Management, ISO/IEC 27001 Information Management security systems”, ISO 28000 “Specification for security management systems for the supply chain”, ASIS ORM.1-2017, NIST SP800-34, NFPA 1600: 2019, COBIT 2019, RESILIA, ITIL V4 and MOF 4.0, etc. The book expands on the best practices of the British Business Continuity Institute’s Good Practice Guidelines (2018 Edition), along with guidance from the Disaster Recovery Institute’s Professional Practices for Business Continuity Management (2017 Edition). Possible methods of conducting ECP projects in the field of BCM are considered in detail. Based on the practical experience of the author there are examples of Risk Assessment (RA) and Business Impact Analysis (BIA), examples of Business Continuity Plans (BCP) & Disaster Recovery Plans (DRP) and relevant BCP & DRP testing plans. This book will be useful to Chief Information Security Officers, internal and external Certified Information Systems Auditors, senior managers within companies who are responsible for ensuring business continuity and cyber stability, as well as teachers and students of MBA’s, CIO and CSO programs. |

| communication channels develop outside the organizational structure: Organizations Prof Dr Stefan Kühl, 2014-02-28 From businesses, public administrations, universities and schools, to hospitals, prisons, political parties, or the military, peoples’ lives are inextricably bound up with organizations from cradle to grave. Yet we receive little training in how - as members, customers, voters, or patients - to deal with them. In Organizations Stefan Kühl asks and answers many questions. What are these entities that wield such strong influence in our society? What makes them tick? What are our options for intervening, either from within or without? This book explains how organizations function by examining their three central features: their purposes or goals, their hierarchies, and their memberships. The author presents the three aspects of organizations - the display, formal, and informal aspects, explaining them in metaphorical terms as façades, machines, and games. Acknowledging that the seminal systems theory developed by sociologist Niklas Luhmann is not easily accessible, Professor Kühl presents Luhmann’s organizational concept in a succinct and user-friendly form that will be readily grasped by a practitioner audience and provides new insights in this ambitious theory. |
| communication channels develop outside the organizational structure: Theories of Communication Networks Peter R. Monge, Noshir Contractor, 2003-03-27 To date, most network research contains one or more of five major problems. First, it tends to be atheoretical, ignoring the various social theories that contain network implications. Second, it explores single levels of analysis rather than the multiple levels out of which most networks are comprised. Third, network analysis has employed very little the insights from contemporary complex systems analysis and computer simulations. Foruth, it typically uses descriptive rather than inferential statistics, thus robbing it of the ability to make claims about the larger universe of networks. Finally, almost all the research is static and cross-sectional rather than dynamic. Theories of Communication Networks presents solutions to all five problems. The authors develop a multitheoretical model that relates different social science theories with different network properties. This model is multilevel, providing a network decomposition that applies the various social theories to all network levels: individuals, dyads, triples, groups, and the entire network. The book then establishes a model from the perspective of complex adaptive systems and demonstrates how to use Blanche, an agent-based network computer simulation environment, to generate and test network theories and hypotheses. It presents recent developments in network statistical analysis, the p* family, which provides a basis for valid multilevel statistical inferences regarding networks. Finally, it shows how to relate communication networks to other networks, thus providing the basis in conjunction with computer simulations to study the emergence of dynamic organizational networks. |

Importance of Management: Achievement of Objectives: Management ensures that organizational goals are clearly defined and systematically pursued. Optimal Resource Utilization: It involves efficient allocation and utilization of resources—human, financial, technological, and informational—maximizing productivity and minimizing waste. Enhancing Efficiency: By streamlining processes and workflows, management improves efficiency and reduces redundancy, leading to cost savings and higher output. Facilitating Innovation: Effective management fosters a culture of innovation by encouraging creativity, risk-taking, and continuous improvement.

| communication channels develop outside the organizational structure: Organizations and Environments Howard Aldrich, 2008 When Organizations and Environments was originally issued in 1979, it increased interest in evolutionary explanations of organizational change. Since then, scholars and practitioners have widely cited the book for its innovative answer to this question: Under what conditions do organizations change? Aldrich achieves theoretical integration across 13 chapters by using an evolutionary model that captures the essential features of relations between organizations and their environments. This model explains organizational change by focusing on the processes of variation, selection, retention, and struggle. The environment, as conceived by Aldrich, does not refer simply to elements out therebeyond a set of focal organizationsbut rather to concentrations of resources, power, political domination, and most concretely, other organizations. Scholars using Aldrich's model have examined the societal context within which founders create organizations and whether those organizations survive or fail, rise to prominence, or sink into obscurity. A preface to the reprinted edition frames the utility of this classic for tomorrow's researchers and businesspeople. |

| communication channels develop outside the organizational structure: Emerging Horizons: Business and Society in the Post-Pandemic Era Rajiv Divekar, Komal Chopra, Smita Mehendale, Pravin Kumar Bhoyar, 2024-11-11 The COVID-19 pandemic dominated our lives since its outbreak in the year 2020. The whole economy was disrupted, and businesses and society had to adapt to the new normal. Since the last two years, the release of different vaccines and the vaccination drive have helped to contain the pandemic to quite an extent. It is believed that irrespective of the different doses of vaccination and its impact on the citizens, the virus is here to stay and will translate into an endemic. An endemic situation is where the COVID-19 virus will be confined to certain people and regions. The COVID-19 pandemic drastically impacted businesses, which had to move from a physical mode to an online mode and hybrid mode. While several steps were taken to contain the pandemic, its lasting effect made organizations and society rethink the future. Organizations have moved from offline to hybrid mode and now work from home. The propositions in sales have changed from price to consumer well-being and convenience. Consumers have become health conscious. Healthcare has become a necessity, and healthcare companies are taking different steps to penetrate the market with immunity boosters. Education is now offered extensively through digital media and has become another alternative. The conference theme, “Pandemic to Endemic: Propositions for the Future,” aims to identify the initiatives businesses and society will adopt for their sustained growth and development. The book provides research insights on how organizations should deal with endemic situations in different business areas. This book includes research in finance, marketing, human resources, healthcare, economics, education, and general management, such as leadership and decision□making. |

| communication channels develop outside the organizational structure: Naturalistic Decision Making and Macrocognition Laura Militello, Tom Ormerod, Dr Jan Maarten Schraagen, Professor Raanan Lipshitz, 2012-10-01 This book presents the latest work in the area of naturalistic decision making (NDM) and its extension into the area of macrocognition. It contains 18 chapters relating research centered on the study of expertise in naturalistic settings, written by international experts in NDM and cognitive systems engineering. The objective of the book is to present the reader with exciting new developments in this field of research, which is characterized by its application-oriented focus. The work addresses only real-world problems and issues. For instance, how do multi-national teams collaborate effectively? How can surgeons best be supported by technology? How do detectives make sense of complex criminal cases? In all instances the studies have been carried out on experts within their respective domains. The traditional field of NDM is extended in this work by focusing on macrocognitive functions other than decision making, namely sense-making, coordination and planning. This has broadened the scope of the field. The book also contains a theoretical discussion of the macro-micro distinction. Naturalistic Decision Making and Macrocognition will be relevant to graduate students, researchers and professionals (including professionals and researchers in business, industry and government) who are interested in decision making, expertise, training methods and system design. The material may be used in two ways: theoretically, to advance understanding of the field of naturalistic decision making; and practically, to gain insight into how experts in various domains solve particular problems, understand and deal with issues and collaborate with others. |

The integration of qualitative research methods with cultural analyses makes this text distinctive and valuable addition to any organizational communication class′ - Linda Putnam, Texas A&M University `The authors skillfully weave together theory, application, and their professional experiences to create a wonderfully useful book that meets the needs of students and practitioners. Anyone who takes cultural analysis seriously should read this book′ - Phillip G Clampitt, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and Metacomm `Organizational Culture in Action fills a real resource gap. It is a workbook in the most positive sense of the word. It offers enough step-by-step guidance to give students the confidence they need to move forward independently. At the same time, it does not sidestep the theoretical complexities, conflicts, and confusions surrounding the world of organizational culture and cultural analysis. The book is well conceived, usefully structured, and filled with application exercises that really make sense and are pedagogically justified. My students found it to be both accessible and stimulating′ - John Gribas, Idaho State University What is organizational culture? And how might knowledge of culture improve our organizational performances? This stimulating workbook guides students through data collection, analysis, interpretation, and application of organizational culture data using a practical five-step process. It begins by explaining theories on which organizational culture is based. It then provides guides for gathering information to help improve organizational performance. Based on more than 20 years of experience in using this approach with hundreds of students, the authors help students apply cultural insights to fostering diversity, supporting organizational change, making leadership more dynamic, exploring the link between ethics and culture, and making organizations more effective overall. |
