...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...

...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...

...through the formation of teams for maximum effectiveness through creative development (eHow.com, 2012) and this is done through the Directors priority to continually implement and improve the company’s “Corporate Governance” (Syngenta’s Annual Report, 2010). The culture of an organisation is dependent on the structure adopted by the organisation. The culture is developed through the leadership or management style, values, socialization, rites etc. The culture feeds the bloodline (structure) of any organisation and the proper development and alignment of same is crucial in the success of any organisation (Howard, 2007). Syngenta’s culture is a mixture of task and person which speaks to the goals of the organisation; therefore it fits well with the structure. The task culture encourages teamwork, problem solving and creativity through the expertise of its members whereas the person culture encourages the development of leadership and other management skills which act as a motivator for employees. The Grenada Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) was a result driven organisation and was aligned with the functional structure, during 2011-2012 the company realigned itself to a project driven organisation to which the adoption of the matrix structure was introduced but not fully implemented. Having adopted this new structure Management did not readjusted its culture of role and...
