Foundations Of Senior Management | | |
  Definition
Laurie Mullins, 1993
Structure is the pattern of relationships
among positions in the organisation and
among members of the organisation. The
purpose of structure is the division of work
among members of the organisation., and
the co-ordination of their activities so they
are directed towards achieving the goals
and objectives of the organisation.
The structure defines tasks and
responsibilities, work roles and
relationships and channels of
communication.
Structure makes possible the application of
management and creates a framework of
order and command through which the
activities of the organisation can be
planned, organised, directed and
controlled.
