Presignify

It is possible to define the concept of organization as “the arrangement of socio-technical systems and the structure which has been born as a result of these arrangements. The first section of the definition includes the idea of flow organizationwhich means where, in which order and by which equipment the permanent duties in the socio- technical systems which will be done and the second section includes the idea of structuring and the structural organization which will born as a result of these arrangement facilities.

Socio-technical systems (and the enterprises that form the big portion of the systems, small and middle corporations) are in a dynamic environment. The continuously changing environment will force the systems which it has relation to the change and adaptation. In addition to this there will be some changes in the environment itself. We call the ability of adaptation to changes in both environment and in itself as “elasticity”. The corporations have to be elastic for not to have an end similar to suffocating due to the lack of ventilation.

We see that, people think that organization duties can be held by everyone, they don`t apply internal or external specialists (such as consultancy firms) and this is the one of the frequently seen structuring concepts. The problem, sourcing from this concept is called as “uncompleted organization”, causes waste of resource, uncompleted capacity usage and as results of these causes high secret and open costs which are higher than the employment cost for the responsible person or the unit for the organization.

The second most frequently seem major problem in small and middle corporations related with organization is the concept of informal organization. We mentioned setting rules and the necessity of putting these rules in a regular form. For doing this, these rules must be transformed to a written form. Otherwise, a relation ball which is nor written in the entity is formed, the improvisation actions, which are similar to organization and must be used only in extraordinary situations became ordinary and take the place of real organization facilities by time. This situation, that we can observe various samples such as, Board of Directors` Decision Notebooks not including important decisions, the production orders written immediately on cigarette boxes, constitutes the biggest problem to institutionalize, the prerequisite of a healthy growth and causes various drawbacks ranging from production losses to damaging of social peace.

The results sourcing from the insolvency of organizational problems become heavier as the labor costs increase. For this reason, such importance is given to organization units, taking place in the organization, and to organization technicals developing in an genuine form, in the countries where labor costs are high. The problems I mentioned in the article are not valid for only small and middle corporations, they are also valid for the firms taking place in the first 500 of Turkey.
