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.
