What is organization and management?

Last week, I touched organizations and management in different places and in various ways. From my perspective, organization is a kind of social arrangement within a controlled performances and instructions to achieve the common goals. There are hundreds of millions of organizations in the whole World with different objectives, managerial structures, operational scales, working backgrounds, etc.

However, all existing organizations have people(labour), goals, structure and management. Those four things are essential.For example, Starbucks and Red Cross are both organizations, but they are quite different. Starbucks is commercial, the main objective is to make profits. It produced many products : dessert, coffee, mugs with own logo. In a specific way, the coffee is also divided into many types : Caffe Latte, Caffe Mocha, Cappuccino, Espresso, Caremel Macchiato and Frappuccino for hot summer. Actually, Starbucks are very popular in China and there are countless physical stores there. In many Chinese eyes, especially young people, Starbucks means modern, good taste and leisure, so if you go to China, you will discover that there are always long queues in Starbucks. To some extent, Starbucks is successful, because it activates the market and caters the customers' needs. On the other hand Red Cross is the other kind of recognizable organization which protects and aids victims and social vulnerable groups with a very good reputation in the World. Red Cross is a kind of charity and also a holy one to do humanitarian work. The aim of it is to protect the health of human being , develop humanitarian and promote the peace.

However, the most important part of business is "structure", in another word, managing style. In an old fashioned company with a vary strict hierarchy system and employees there have no freedom to make own decisions even no opportunities to create, to some extent, it will suppress the interests and motivations of staff and cause a negative impact. A good organizational style or an appropriate will stimulate and guide people into a higher level of working condition and then it will also influence the profits of the corporation.

Overall, an organization whether the final goal of it is to make money or to do charity want to be successful, an effective and proper management and structure system is indispensable.
