ABSTRACT
Let’s take a general look at the different layers in place within an organization. But first, allow me to define what I mean by the term “organization.” It’s not restricted to the concept of a company-in other words, a legally established entity. It covers any formally or informally defined cluster of co-organized, structured, and coordinated individuals working toward the achievement of a common objective, whether quantitative and/or qualitative. It can be temporary or not. A company is of course an organization, but so is a department, division, function-you name it-within that company. A project or a program group or team can also be included within that definition.
