An organization (or organisation — see spelling differences) is a social arrangement which pursues collective goals, which controls its own performance, and which has a boundary separating it from its environment. The word itself is derived from the Greek word ὄργανον (organon [itself derived from the better-known word ἔργον ergon - work; deed - > ergonomics, etc]) meaning tool.

In the social sciences, organizations are studied by researchers from several disciplines, the most common of which are sociology, economics, political science, psychology, management, and organizational communication. The broad area is commonly referred to as organizational studies, organizational behavior or organization analysis. Therefore, a number of different theories and perspectives exist, some of which are compatible, and others that are competing.

  • 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)

What are the organizations/companies that work on adults with low reading rates?
Q. Hi, I am from Turkey. Like most of the developing countries, lots of adults can read but are not interested in regular reading. Book publishing rates are low and the variety is limited. There aren't many public libraries either. Most of the international or local organizations, rightly, focus on children literacy. I wonder if there are organizations (profit or non-profit) who focus on this issue and come up with products/services?

Are there any UK charities or organizations that have an appeal for unwanted Christmas gifts?
Q. I would like to donate all of my Christmas gifts this year to a charity or charitable organization. Are there any organizations that have a special appeal for unwanted gifts?

All the charities with shops appeal for unwanted gifts to be donated after Xmas. Very few charity shops can take electrical goods. Best to check first. Those that can usually have someone who s qualified to test the items and make sure they re safe to use. Some charity shops will take them, not to sell in the shop but to be sold to recycling schemes or another use found for them. Children s charities such as Barnardo's, NCH and NSPCC are interested in taking unwanted children s toys and clothing. Local playgroups, children s hospitals, hospices etc might also be… [cont.]
