Organisational Process – Structure, System, Process, Jobs and Tasks

In most modern businesses, there are basic pillars on which the business runs. Each pillar would have a head, some people and a rule for communication. These basic pillars on which the business runs, is called a Structure.
The easiest way to think of a system is the way we group functions, create a logical order, organize the flow of information and resources and let it run almost by itself.

Every system has an input, throughput and an output.
Process is a set of logical activities that lead to some final or interim output. The activities have to carried out in a logical sequence.
•At business level, some processes which come into play are Planning, Organising, Staffing, Leading and Controlling. These are called Management processes.
•Each process is made up of several jobs.
•A job is a cluster of similar tasks and the size of this cluster depends on the capacity of the individual to do it.
•The most basic unit of an organisation is ‘Task’.

Organisation is a social system of people who are structured and manage to meet some goal.
•Every organisation should have a Vision & Mission, or in simpler language a purpose.
•When jobs are grouped together and put into some logical sequence, it becomes a process.
•Processes use input and convert them into output.
•The input, the logical processes along with the output is called a system.
•Structure controls the way we interact within and in between systems.
•Structure depends on Strategy, which can be divided into Corporate Strategy, Business Strategy & Financial Strategy.
