Organisations. As social units of people that are structured and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals, organisations are an indispensable aspect of human life. This is true of government, citizens and businesses.
Not surprisingly, organisations affect and are in turn affected by their environment. When they deliver organisations are a testament to what people can achieve by working together.
Although individuals can accomplish a lot by working alone, they can accomplish a lot more when they associate with others and jointly work towards a common purpose.
However, organisations can also be ineffective, get in the way of common progress, discourage innovation and be downright dysfunctional.
