ABSTRACT
The structure of an organisation comprises all the arrangements by which its various activities are divided between its members, and their efforts coordinated. Indeed, without such structure, the people involved would simply be a group of individuals or at best a collection of cliques, and not an organisation at all. To be an organisation, whether a multinational, a multicorporation, a workers co-operative, a museum or gallery, implies some kind of structure. The most fundamental problem that can arise is when the structure is inappropriate to the function of the organisation.
