Every organization must arrange its activities to reach its goals. Organizational structure is the blueprint for this arrangement. It is the way an organization is tied together. Managers need to know about structure for a variety of reasons. Knowledge about how organizations are put together helps managers understand 'the big picture'. Without some knowledge of structure, it is difficult to know how the human resources of an organization are deployed and where these resources are located, what information may be gained from them, and what contribution they might be expected to make to the organization.
Structure gives clues to the location of power and is a indicator of a company's management philosophy. Structure should reflect and facilitate the achievement of an organization's goals. In sum, a manager can better understand her own place in the fabric of the whole by knowing something about structure.
When people think of organizational structure, what immediately comes to mind is the hierarchy of authority and reporting relationships portrayed in an organizational chart, and sometimes who is accountable? While this view of an organization is one part of structure, it is not the only aspect. Indeed, an organization is structured using many different structural elements. These elements are the basic building blocks of organizations they are the ways of both creating and expressing structure. Management uses them to erect the structure in turn they can be analyzed to determine the true structure of an organization as opposed to the structure professed by management.
