Organization

A large factor when it comes to efficient management is the organization of how a company is handled. Daft and Marcic define organizing to be "the deployment of organizational resources to achieve strategic goals." (Daft & Marcic, p. 244) Since organization is a key tool for managers, there are numerous different organizing principles, as well as concepts. Using these organizing principles we can form an organizational structure. Looking at myself as both the manager, and all aspects of the organization, I am organized in a very high central authoritarian way. This is simply because as the manager of myself, I make all of the decisions that I will enact upon. Another factor in the organization of a company is the departmentalization of it. This is defined by Daft and Marcic to be "the basis for grouping positions into departments and departments into total organization." (Daft & Marcic, p. 250) Among the numerous types of decentralization approaches, I believe I follow most closely to the matrix approach, which takes aspects from both the functional and the divisional structures simultaneously. I am involved in various different activities, such as schoolwork, jobs, and extra-curricular activities. While these can be seen as divisional groupings because of how each activity is within its own sub-group, it turns out that some of the skills needed for one activity can be shared with another. This is why I believe as an organization, I follow the matrix approach of organizing and decentralization.
