  Definition
 Identifiable Coherent Whole
The members of an organisation form an
identifiable, coherent whole arising from
their interdependence in the different
aspects of a common task.
Organisations are unified or integrated
entities.
Rational, Conscious Design
Organisations embody a concsios
design, such that their structures reflect
a means to achieve ends. or in other
words, organisations applt knowledge
about cause-effecdt relations in the use
of human, financial and technological
resources.
In short they are rational.
Goal Seeking Entities
Organisations exist to pursuse particular
aims and objectives; indeed, this is
fundemental, because these aims give
an organisation its structure and
coherence and explain its activities (or
actions).
