1. an organization means the
act of
organizing or the
process of being organized. The
state or manner of being organized: "A high degree of organization." Something that has been organized or made into an ordered whole. A number of persons or groups
having specific responsibilities and united for some
purpose or
work. Thus an organization is an activity or
area that is being organized or has been organized or made into an "ordered whole."
(HCO PL 29 Oct 71 II) 2. organization is composed of
terminals and
lines and the
terminals are there with a common
purpose but they are united by
lines.
(5812C16) 3. an organization is essentially a
service delivery
unit. The continued
expansion of an organization depends upon high volume flubless delivery.
(HCO PL 29 Aug 71) 4. an or on is composed of
trained people, it isn't composed of
dead bodies.
(FEBC 6, 7101C23 SO II) 5. a
group of people that has more or less
constant membership, a
body of officers, a
purpose and usually a
set of regulations.
(HCO PL 9 Nov 68) 6. an
interdependent activity coordinated by its leaders. (
HCO PL 19
Oct 67 I) 7. an organization is a
complex mechanism. It is made up of associated individuals who have an agreed upon
goal or
intention. They are going along in some direction which they do not too violently disagree with, and it will make progress to the degree that it stays in
agreement and
holds its
form and to the degree that it refines its
form to
meet new threats to its
existence and so it will
survive.
(SH Spec 77, 6608C23) 8. evidently an organization is a number of
terminals and
communication lines with a common
purpose. The
purpose associates and keeps in
contact with one another the
terminals and the
lines. That's all an organization is. It isn't a
factory, it isn't a
house. It isn't a
machine, it isn't a
product. It's not a
command chart. If you
look it over in the light of that simplicity you can actually
form one and get one to function.
(0 S-9, 561 1C08) 9. an organization optimumly would be composed of
communication terminals. If we
look it over and find an organization is composed of
communication terminals then we decide that a
communication terminal had
better have a
communication line. So we find an organization consists of
communication terminals and
communication lines associated with a common
purpose or
goal.
(OS-9, 5611CO8) 10. it's a
group of associated
comm lines and
terminals which is itself a
single terminal and it has ingo and outcome
lines.
(OS-9, 5611CO8) 11. a servo-
mechanism to the
doingness of people.
(OS-10, 5611C15) 12. an organization is something which has its own
spirit. It is composed of people or
living beings who are
governed by certain rules and
purposes and who know how to do their jobs. That is an organization and when any of those
factors are neglected it becomes a "thing" even though it still has a name and
legal standing.
(PAB 90) 13. an organization is composed of
terminals and
communication lines related by a common
purpose. That's an organization. And all the organizational pattern does is
help separate the types of particles being handled. That, in a nutshell, is an organization and what it does.
(5812C29) 14. the
word organization in
Scn policy means an activity organized on the seven
division system authorized by myself and regular official
Scn organizations and under
Worldwide.
(HCO PL 11 Aug 67 II) 15. the essence of organization is
org boarding,
posting with
reality and, in keeping with the duties being performed,
training and
hatting. To this has to be added the
actual performance of the duties so that the activity is productive. Another ingredient that goes
hand in
hand with organization and
survival is toughness. The
ability to stand up to and
confront and
handle whatever comes the way of the organization depends utterly on the
ability of the individuals of the organization to stand up to,
confront and
handle what comes the
individual's way. The
composite whole of this
ability makes a tough organization.
Confidence in one's teammates is another
factor in organization
survival.
Confidence in one's
self is something that has to be earned. It is
respect. This is a
compound of demonstrated
competence, being on
post and being dependable.
(OODs 10 Nov 71) 16. organization is basically foresight and
prediction and putting in stable
terminals that will
handle the
flows. What belongs where?
(FEBC 1, 7011C17 SO) 17. consists of a real and functional
org board,
hats consisting of
checksheets, packs and manuals and
training of this material.
(HCO PL 8 Oct 70) 18. the
purpose of organisation is to make
planning become
actuality. Organization is not just a
fancy complex system, done for its own sake. That is
bureaucracy at its worst.
Org boards for the sake of
org boards, graphs for the sake of graphs, rules for the sake of rules only add up to failures. There is a
lot to organization. It requires
trained administrators who can forward the programs.
(HCO PL 14 Sept 69) 19. the subdivision of actions and duties into specialized functions.
(HCO PL 7 Mar 69) 20. organization consists of certain people doing certain jobs.
(HCO PL 1 Jul 65 III) 21. smooth organization consists of
having a
terminal for each
type of activity in which the organization is engaged. There can be four or five activities to one
terminal so long as three things are obeyed:
(1) the
terminal itself has to know it;
(2) nearby
terminals have to know it;
(3) distant
terminals have to know it.
(PAB 78) 22. the attempt to
establish terminals and
flows so as to bring about an orderly
flow of
energy or
matter.
