Lesson 1 NATURE OF ORGANIZATIONS

Differentiation of the Organization’s Internal Environment

Differentiation in organizations involves division of labor and specialization

according to Bateman and Snell (2008). These necessarily result from the

organization’s composition—many different work units with different kinds of tasks,

using different skills and work activities coordinating with one another for a common

end.

Division of labor involves assigning different tasks to different people in the

organization’s different work units. Related to it is specialization, the process in

which different individuals and units perform different tasks. An organization’s

overall work is complex and would be too much for any individual, therefore, the

bigger the organization, the more work units or work divisions and specializations

are to be expected.

Integration of Work Units

Integration is another process in the organization’s internal environment which

involves the collaboration and coordination of its different work units or work

divisions. Coordination refers to the procedures that connect the work activities of

the different work divisions/units of the firm in order to achieve its overall goal.

Structural mechanisms may be devised in order to increase collaboration and

coordination. The more highly differentiated one’s organization is, the greater the

need for integration among the different units.
