The Nature of Organizing
Organizing is the process by which a manager establishes the structure of working relationships
among employees for the efficient and effective achievement of organizational goals.
Organizations
The process of organizing takes place in and for an organization. An organization is an open and
social system that transforms input from the environment to product outputs. It is also known as an
enterprise.
When the relationship is based on a structure of roles that aims to achieve organizational goals
consciously and deliberately, the organization is said to be Formal Organization.
An Informal Organization, on the other hand, also contributes to the attainment of
organizational objectives through relationships among people that extend beyond those
established by management.

ACTIVITY 1: Continuing Case on Charlotte’s Designer and Tailoring Shop
Organizing by Function
Charlotte’s Designer and Tailoring Shop started with ₱ 300,000 from her savings and ₱ 100,000
through a bank loan. She used the bank loan to purchase sewing machines. She also used some money
for the construction of her tailoring shop. She bought sewing materials and supplies, which included
textiles, threads, zippers, buttons, scissors, and tailor chalk. She also hired two sewers.
Charlotte did the following activities during the first year of operations of her business:
Define the target market
Set sales targets
Set cost and expense targets
Set profit targets
Hire and train dressmakers/ tailors
Set compensation of dressmakers/ tailors
Set production quota for dressmakers/ tailors
Assign machines and supplies for each of the dressmaker/ tailor
Provide a commission scheme to sewers
Coordinate activities of dressmakers/ tailors
Appraise performance of dressmakers/ tailors to check alignment with organizational goals
For the first year, Charlotte was doing most of these tasks needed to deliver services to her customers
except for sewing. Her friend, Regina, helps her through advertising her services through Regina’s
internet blog site. Another friend, Vicky helps her manage her financial records and books.
The company’s performance for its first year of operations went beyond the expectation of Charlotte
to at least break-even. The firm’s strong performance is mainly due to orders coming from Indonesian,
Malaysian, Thai and Singaporean mothers requesting for Charlotte to design and sew dresses for their
two- to four-year-old daughters.
Task: On a separate sheet, create an organizational structure base from the given resources on
Charlotte’s Designer and Tailoring Shop
Question 2: Will a functional structure work for Charlotte’s Designer and Tailoring Shop? Why?

Direction: Identify and discuss the reasons behind Mr. Ramos’ lack of success.
Mr. Carlos Ramos founded a construction company after year of working as an engineer
in a large company. He has very good technical skills and had contacts which gave him small
contracts initially. He hired five employees at first which included a bookkeeper, a carpenter,
and unskilled laborers. His company remained small in the first five years and business growth
was gradual. However, on the sixth year, it began to grow to such an extent that he needed to
delegate some of his tasks to another skilled person. Contracts kept coming, large and small
alike, but he was spread too thinly in managing all these projects. When he has someone he
could hire, the person was technically skilled but could not coordinate all the activities in the
projects assigned to him. There were also some problems with service quality which he could
not handle. In the end, the person resigned and Mr. Ramos took over these projects as well.
Mr. Ramos finished all his projects but some were behind schedule. The company reputation
was also affected because of the service quality problems.
