Organizations and Management Theory

Organizations are groups of people working together to achieve shared goals, such as companies or nonprofits. Management theory studies how to best organize, coordinate, motivate, and lead these groups for efficiency and effectiveness. It explores different approaches—like structure, leadership styles, and decision-making processes—helping managers make informed choices to improve performance. These theories evolve by considering human behavior, technological changes, and organizational goals, providing a framework to understand what makes organizations work well and how to adapt to challenges.
