ABOUT ORGANIZATION

Basic Definition
Basically, an organization is a group of people intentionally organized to accomplish an overall, common goal or set of goals. Business organizations can range in size from two people to tens of thousands.
There are several important aspects to consider about the goal of the business organization. These features are explicit (deliberate and recognized) or implicit (operating unrecognized, "behind the scenes"). Ideally, these features are carefully considered and established, usually during the strategic planning process. (Later, we'll consider dimensions and concepts that are common to organizations.)
Vision
Members of the organization often have some image in their minds about how the organization should be working, how it should appear when things are going well.
Mission
An organization operates according to an overall purpose, or mission.
Values
All organizations operate according to overall values, or priorities in the nature of how they carry out their activities. These values are the personality, or culture, of the organization.
Strategic Goals
Organizations members often work to achieve several overall accomplishments, or goals, as they work toward their mission.
Strategies
Organizations usually follow several overall general approaches to reach their goals.
