Suppose CEO of the company cleaning office, You must be thinking what i am trying to say. The concept is very simple everyone has been assigned some work based on his ability , So similarly the organizations have many sectors known has organisational structure. Organisational structure aim to assign the work like finance department will look upon fiance and creative work will be accomplished by creative department . Organisational structure divides the work load and more work can be done.
