An organization (or organisation — see spelling differences) is a social arrangement which pursues collective goals, controls its own performance, and has a boundary separating it from its environment. The word itself is derived from the Greek word organon, itself derived from the better-known word ergon.

In the social sciences, organizations are the object of analysis for a number of disciplines, such as sociology, economics, political science, psychology, management, and organizational communication. In more specific contexts, particularly for sociologists, the term "institution" may be preferred. The broader analysis of organizations is commonly referred to as organizational studies, organizational behavior or organization analysis. A number of different theories and perspectives exist, some of which are compatible,

  • Organization – process-related: an entity is being (re-)organized (organization as task or action).
  • Organization – functional: organization as a function of how entities like businesses or state authorities are used (organization as a permanent structure).
  • Organization – institutional: an entity is an organization (organization as an actual purposeful structure within a social context)

Organization?
Q. I try to keep a clean organized house, but I am just not too good at those sorts of things. I try to make lists, but somehow I wind up doing maybe 1 thing off the lists, I try to keep calenders and forget to check them. Any advice on how to excell in these areas?

A. Put your calendars in obvious places, like on the bathroom mirror or refrigerator, some place where you will see it every morning. Take the time to check it. Next decide on a place where you want everything to go, when it needs to be put up, do it then. Once you do this several times, it will become a habit and will be easy to keep. If you don't have luck with lists, either don't make them or start with easier list to follow. It's just like goals, don't set them so high that you fail at accomplishing them, start small and work your way up. Good luck.

I want to start an charitable organization/camp for kids whose parents have cancer?
Q. I'm wanting to start up a charitable organization for kids whose parents either are currently battling cancer or whose parents have passed away from cancer. As part of the organization I'd like to maybe start a summer camp where kids can come to get away from everything and be with others who are going through the same thing. I'd like to have the usual summer camp acitivites there. Aside from the camp, I'd like to have a year-round place where kids can go and support each other and get information and advice. Any ideas on how to get this kind of thing started? Any tips or information you can provide would be really helpful. Thanks!

A. I would contact one of the following places and ask for advise: These are just a few. I did a google search: cancer parents kids camp I'm getting ready to set up an organization much like Make A Wish. My son, 24, has brain cancer. There just aren't any organizations like Make A Wish for this middle age category. You have to be young or old. Wish me luck!
