An organization is a structured group of individuals who work together to achieve specific goals
or objectives. It is characterized by a systematic arrangement of roles, responsibilities, and
resources to coordinate activities and manage processes effectively.
Example: A non-profit environmental organization like "Green Earth Foundation."
• Vision: "A world where natural resources are preserved and ecosystems are restored for
future generations."
• Mission: "To promote sustainable practices, engage communities in environmental
conservation, and advocate for policies that protect the planet."
This example illustrates an organization with a clear vision of a sustainable future and a mission
to actively work towards that vision through community engagement and advocacy.
