INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY

Organizational Functioning is an important factor for any Organization to achieve th

desired goals and Objectives. This requires Co-ordination at all levels to smooth

functioning. This report aims to understand the Function of Lamco Industries relation t

different departments. As a part of two year MBA program at the end of 1s t

semester, w

had to carry on a project in an organization in order to understand the organization

structure and their functions. This was a great opportunity to get the first hand

information and understand the functioning of the various departments.

I did my Organization Study at Lamco Industries . It was a great learning experience a

it is quite necessary for all the management students. The main purpose of doing the

organization study was to study the various departments of the organization and

understand their basic functions, their purpose, achievements, competitors and the

mission and vision of the company and their progress towards that. All genera

information we get in course is all book knowledge, on which we entirely cannot depend

It is very important to observe the actual working of an organization and the overal

structure of an organization. The actual professionalism can be studied only through

experience.

matching equalization of sound in Hifi and sound reinforcement applications, weather

forecasting, economic forecasting, seismic data processing, analysis and control of

industrial processes, computer-generated animations in movies, medical imaging such as

CAT scans and MRI, MP3 compression, image manipulation, high fidelity loudspeaker

crossovers and equalization, and audio effects for use with electric guitar amplifiers.

Maglev, or magnetic levitation, is a system of transportation that suspends, guides and

propels vehicles, predominantly trains, using magnetic levitation from a very large number

of magnets for lift and propulsion. This method has the potential to be faster, quieter and

smoother than wheeled mass transit systems. The technology has the potential to exceed

6,400 km/h (4,000 mi/h) if deployed in an evacuated tunnel.[8]If not deployed in an

evacuated tube the power needed for levitation is usually not a particularly large percentage

and most of the power needed is used to overcome air drag, as with any other high speed

train.

The highest recorded speed of a maglev train is 581 kilometres per hour (361 mph),

achieved in Japan in 2003,[9] 6 km/h faster than the conventional TGV speed record. This is

slower than many aircraft, since aircraft can fly at far higher altitudes where air drag is

lower, thus high speeds are more readily attained.

SCOPE OF ORGANISATIONAL STUDY

The study focus on the overall structure of the organization. In this study, the researcher

analyzed the overall functioning of the firm and also the financial performance of the

enterprise. The researcher made a moderate attempt to have the SWOT analysis of the

study.

ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE:

An organization structure refers to the determination of organization system of the

enterprise it determines the programs and procedures by which the administrative relations

of an enterprise are defined and established. No activity of the organization can go out ofthis structure. As the policy of the enterprise determines the limits within which the

enterprise has to work. In the same manner organization structure determines and defines

the shape and size of the enterprise according to which the administrative and organization

decisions have to be taken. It is also the framework of activities of the enterprise, it may

also be considered as the map of the building to be constructed. Organization structure can

be defined, as the organization structure of an organization deals with its organizational

arrangements.

TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS STRUCTURE

FORMAL ORGANIZATION:-

It refers to the planned structure of jobs and positions with clearly defined objectives and

functions. It is consciously created by top management for the accomplishment of

enterprise objectives. It is made up of official relationships and channels of communication.Formal structure is governed by established rules and procedures. Formal organization

tends to be stable and predictable. Thus, it is represented in the organization chart and

manual of the enterprise.


26/42

INFORMAL ORGANIZATION:-

Informal organization arises from the personal and social relations of people. It is not

formally designed but develops spontaneously out of interactions between persons. It is

influenced by personal attitudes, likes and dislikes. Informal relations cut across formal

channels. People working together in an enterprise frequently come into contact and

develop personal or social relations outside the formal structure.

Advantages of the organization structure:-

The organization structure has the following advantages in the enterprise:-

Necessary for the management:- it is necessary for the management of the business

and industrial enterprise. In the absence of a clearly defined organization structure,

the management cannot discharge its duties properly because the structure defines

and defines the relation between all the departments of the enterprise and the rights

and duties of all the in the enterprise. It also tells us about the managerial approach.

It reveals the drawback of an organization:- organization structure is an important

document of an enterprise. It serves as the guidelines to explain what should be done

in the enterprise. Actual performance of the enterprise is compared with this

document. The way it reveals the drawback of an organization

Helpful in delegation:- it is also helpful in providing the suitable training to the

employees of the organization and defining their duties. It helps in delegating proper

authority to the employees so that they can discharge their duties effectively and

efficiently.

Helpful in training:- It is also helpful in providing suitable training to the

employees and defining their duties like mentioned in the above. It defined the

requirements of all the suitable postages and it also determines the need, nature, and

the from of the training required.


27/42

Disadvantages of organization structure:-

The organization structure follows from the certain defects:-

It is difficult to change it: - Management is a dynamic science. To make is a real

science, must be practical, no hard and fast line can be drawn in the activities of

enterprise, organization structure is the definite determination of activities.

Therefore, it develops rigid ness in the activities and becomes difficult to make any

changes easily.

It reveals only the formal relations:- A very important drawback of the organization

structure is that it is only a formal document. It defines only the formal relations

among the employees of an enterprise. But in practice, there are two types of

relations among them. Formal and informal and organization structure does not

define informal relations.

It creates conflicts:- Organization structure makes clear difference in the rights and

duties of all the employees of the enterprise. It is the feeling of boss and

subordinate among them. It also develops the feeling of superior and inferior. It

also develops the feeling of senior and junior.

TYPES

1. Pre-bureaucratic structure- This structure is most common in smallerorganizations and is best used to solve simple tasks. They follow a flat hierarchy

system.

2. Bureaucratic structure- They are suited for complex or larger scale operations.Under this structure:-

Functional structure- This structure groups specialize in similar skills in

separate units. It is well suited to organizations with a single or dominant

core product because each subunit becomes extremely adept at performing

its particular portion of the portion.

Divisional structure- It is formed when an organization is split up into a

number of self-contained business units, each operating as a profit centre.

3. Line organization- It is also known as scalar or military organization. In thisstructure, there is a vertical line of authority running from the top to the bottom of

the organization. Here, the command is through a straight and unbroken line. All


28/42

persons at the same level are independent of each other. The authority and

responsibility of each position is specified. The man at the top has the highest

authority and it is reduced at each successive level down the hierarchy. Every

person is in direct chain of command. Line organization can be of two types. In

pure line organization all individuals at a given level perform the same type of

work and they are grouped into divisions only to facilitate effective supervision

and control. In a departmental line organization work performed in each

department is of a different type.

4. Functional organization:-Under functional organization, the organization is divided into a number of

functional areas. Each function is managed by an expert in that area. Every

functional area serves all other areas in the organization. Thus, an individual in

the organization receives instructions from several functional heads. Every

functional expert enjoys functional authority over subordinates in other

departments. Within a functional department every operating executive receives

orders from several functional specialists.

5. Line and staff organization-Line and staff organization is a combination of line and functional structures.

Under it, line authority flows in a vertical line in the same manner as in the line

organization. In addition, staff specialists are attached to line positions to advise

them on important matters. These specialists do not have power of command over

subordinates in other departments. They are purely of advisory nature. Thus, staff

positions are created to support the line managers. Every staff specialist, however,

has line authority over the subordinates in his own department.

6. Matrix organization-

Matrix organization is a hybrid grid structure wherein pure project organization

is superimposed on a functional structure. It is a two-dimensional pattern

developed to meet the problems of growing size and complexity of undertakings.

Such undertakings require an organization structure more flexible and technically

oriented. Matrix structure has been defined as any organization that employs a

multiple command system that includes not only the multiple command structure

but also related support mechanism and an associated organizational culture and

behavior pattern. Thus, a matrix organization is characterized by an overlapping

of command, control and behavior patterns. In this organization, there is a

permanent functional set up. In addition, temporary project groups are created to

handle infrequent short-term projects.
