1. Definition of an Organisation
Definition: An organisation is a systematically arranged group of individuals collaborating to
achieve shared goals. It involves coordinated efforts, with tasks divided among members to meet
specific objectives. Organisations have a defined hierarchy, with roles and responsibilities
clearly outlined to ensure smooth operation and effective 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."
Illustration: Google LLC exemplifies an organisation as it unites a diverse group of individuals
who work together within a structured hierarchy to fulfill its vision and mission. The company’s
vision emphasizes easy access to information, while its mission focuses on organizing and
making information useful for everyone.
