Organising refers to creating roles and directing people towards completion of goals. The following points highlight the role of the organising function:
(i) Clarity in working relationships: Organising clearly defines the working relationships in an organisation. This in turn helps in avoiding any uncertainity in transfer of instructions and orders.
(ii) Avoids duplication of work: It avoids duplication of work as the various tasks and activities are properly assigned, the chances of overlapping and duplication of work is neglected. This reduces the wastage of human and material resources in an organisation.
(iii) Coordination: Organising groups the activities into different departments and units. This leads to better coordination in various tasks and thereby promotes harmony among the departments and units. This also reduces the time, human resources and material resources of organisation.
(iv) Promotes growth: Organising gives a clear definition of the working relationships of an organisation. This allows the organisation to diversify and add new lines of activities. Organisation can easily grow and expand its operations to new geographical territories and thereby increase its customer base, volume of sales and profits.
