Organizing is undertaken to facilitate implementation of plans by breaking down total jobs into smaller, more manageable tasks. The result of organizing is an organizational structure that defines relationships and reporting hierarchies between individuals, departments, and tasks. Key elements of an organizational structure include division of labor, delegation of authority, departmentalization, and systems for coordination. Common tools for representing an organizational structure are organization charts, manuals, and policy documents that describe authority relationships and job functions.
