ACCA BT Syllabus B. Organisational Structure, Culture, Governance and Sustainability - Informal Organisation - Notes ^{2 / 3}

Organisational structure is how a business arranges responsibilities and connections between people. It's like a blueprint that helps everyone work together effectively. Sometimes, people try to make it too strict and formal, but there's also a theory called informal organisation that focuses on how people relate to each other beyond the strict rules.

The formal organisation is all about how the company plans and organises things, like who's in charge of what and how they work together. It's like a well-defined roadmap. On the other hand, the informal organisation depends more on the people's personalities and how they naturally interact with each other.

In short, the organisational structure is how a business organises its work, and there are both formal and informal ways that people relate to each other within the organisation.
