INTRODUCTION

Organizing is the method of arranging and allocating work authority resources among an organization in order to achieve an organizational goal .

Any group or collection of people who are trying to work together to achieve a given objective, be it a number of soldiers trying to win a battle or a number of building operatives, craftsmen trying to build a house or bankers rendering services to depositors. If they are organizing correctly they will have more chance of achieving their aims.
