Definition: An organisation is a structured group of individuals working together towards
common goals, typically involving coordination and division of tasks to achieve specific
objectives. It has a defined hierarchy, roles, and responsibilities that facilitate effective operation
and management.
Example: Company: Google LLC
Vision: "To provide access to the world's information in one click."
Mission: "To organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful."

group of individuals who collaborate under a structured hierarchy to achieve its vision and
mission. Google’s vision focuses on easy access to information, while its mission emphasizes
