...distinction the team and group in that case? People think team and group that means can interchange to each other. So that they always misunderstand team and group the definition. Team and group are always making us complicate when we use it. If you want to make distinctions clearly, we are always following some theories to help them classified the team and group. Let us discuss as the below: * Team – Occur when a small number of members with shared leadership, who perform interdependent jobs with individual and mutual accountability of group members, become together evaluation and discussion problem, making decision for solving the problem at the planning, and reward. In practice meaning, the full tension and counter-balance of human behaviour will need to be demonstrated in the team.

...objectives of the organisation. Therefore, it is important for an individual to learn to function within a group. In order to highlight to us how to function within a group, we had to take part in group exercises throughout this subject, culminating in having to make a presentation to the class as a group. The given task that we had to present to the class was to observe and analyse the functioning and interactions of another group. This paper looks at my behaviour within our group as we undertook this task, and analyses it as it relates to management theories on groups. When we were initially informed that we would be taking part in a group exercise I felt that it would allow me to critically and logically observe the functioning of a group, and that it would be interesting to know how a group functions. I felt that this would allow us to get useful information about the functioning of our group as well and enable me to critically observe my behaviour in a group, something I had never done before even though I had participated in group tasks previously. Generally, a group can be defined as “two or more persons who are interacting with one another in such a manner that each person influences and is influenced by each other person” (Shaw, 1981, p.8). In life, everyone belongs a group be it a family, a neighbourhood or a community which has a great impact on their behaviour (Wood et.al, 2006, p.190). Groups form or are created for a purpose, and in an organisation groups exist...

...Organisation and behaviour Organisational Structure:It is the group of activities which are done to achieve the organisational goals and aims.Such like source usage,conversations styles,co operations between the groups and teams. Many structures may be in an organisation according to their goals and achievements.An organisational structure works in an organisation in two ways.First,it provides the leading ways to achieve the goals and second it fixes the individuals who can share and participate in the process of organisational decision making and actions after that. TYPES OF STRUCTURE IN AN ORGANISATION There are three type of organisation structure which are commonly used recently. Functional Structure: It is the structure in an organisation which is established according to the departments in an organisation.it is always slow moving structure due to the lack of communication between the staff and team working.There is a central department in the functional structure and all other departments have to report that central department.Effiencies of the functional structure are measured according to the staff sale performance that should be at low cost.

...ORGANISATIONS& BEHAVIOUR CASE STUDY 1:Dimension of Organisational Structure Changing the rules at BOSCO PLASTICS Case Questions(AO 1.1,1.2 &1.3) * Do you think Jill Thompson’s proposal to decentralise the rules and procedures of Bosco Plastics will work?if so,why and how?Give reasons.What,in your opinion,are the requirements to make decentralisation effective? Organisational structure and organisational culture have a dependent relationship with one another.In the business world management structe determines the behaviours,attitudes,dispositions and ethics that create the work culture.If a company’s organisational structure is strictly hierachical,with decision- making power centralized at the top,the company’s culture will likely reflect a lack of fredoom and autonomy at the lowest levels.If a company’s managment structure is descentralized ,with shared power and authority at all levels,the culture is likely to be more independent,personalized and accountable.For this in my opinion decentralise the rules and procedures of Bosco Plastics will work because every department manager have different aproach with the people in their department and also different ideas of how they can make that department work more efficient.In each business it’s important to be good manager and leader both in the same time, thats why in my opinion it is a very good goal if each department manager knows their people that they work with, and will also make them feel more confident if the department...

...Organizational Behaviour Unit 4 Sikkim Manipal University Page No. 58 Unit 4 Learning Structure: 4.1 Introduction Objectives 4.2 Learning and Learning Cycle 4.3 Components of Learning 4.4 Theories of Learning 4.5 Summary 4.6 Glossary 4.7 Terminal Questions 4.8 Answers 4.1 Introduction In the earlier units you have learnt about organizational and interpersonal behavior. In this unit we will get an understanding about the concept ‘learning’. Let us relate it with a small example - you pick up a cat and take it to a new environment such as a new house or a new garden and leave it there. Immediately the cat begins to move around slowly looking and sniffing at various objects, identifying avenues to enter and escape, places where food may be available, and objects that are dangerous and hence are to be avoided. The cat is learning. Thus we see that learning is natural, spontaneous, important and beneficial. It is wrong to assume that only human beings learn, or that learning is unnatural or that it is not important. A cat is looked upon as a great survivor and it is its natural instinct to learn which helps it to survive. Like the cat we human beings too have to learn not just in schools, but in every walk of life including within organizations. An organization where people learn the right things quickly is successful. An organization where learning is neglected falls apart. Since learning is so essential for the well-being of an organization it is not surprising that...

...Introduction Organisation definition: “Individual gathered towards under the similar circumstances to achieve common goals”. (Schein, 1999). In this vain organisations must have structure to determine the level of hierarchy in the responsibility and accountability also a developed culture of running the organisation. At the same time a well-designed structure makes easier to see what every department or division does in an Organisation. Organisation Culture Culture is human behaviour pattern, tradition, religion, values, institutions and is mainly individual or groups. Cultures must have history. There are many types of culture which I am going to mention but a few. Power Culture This culture concentrate power in among small group or a central figure so the control is from the centre in a sense few rules is needed and less bureaucracy. Operators of this culture are usually small businesses or organisations. Control is the basic element here, no consultancy needed decision are swift as to react to any threatening danger. However this type of culture seems to generate high staff turnover for some organisation. Role Culture Here we have power delegation as form of authority within highly designed structure, such organisation form hierarchical bureaucracies. Culture is based on individual heading a particular function in the Organisation after a split into various functions. This peculiar to multinationals like the Apple Corporation. Task Culture This is where we have...
