Analysis of Selected Aspects of an Organisation: The Organisation as an Instrument, an Interest Group and as a Process

Abstract

In this article, we discuss selected aspects of organisation: organisation as an instrument for achieving objectives, and organisation as an interest group, as well as defining the organisation as a process. Based on a literature review we have summarised the findings of different authors and presented what defines the organisation fromthe aforementioned aspects. The structure of the article follows the AIMRaD methodology: abstract, introduction, methodology, research and analysis, and discussion (Cargill and O’Connor 2009). The literature study research method was used. Findings are presented descriptively and in tabular form with a discussion and comments. Findings of this research are useful for the general, professional public, for the management of different organisations and for researchers from the fields of organisation and management, because selected aspects of organisations are intertwined, and their understanding is related to the basic management activities of each organisation such as planning, organising, leading and supervising and thus related decision-making.
