Abstract: The primary purpose of organization planning should be to produce a pattern for mobilizing a company's resources to facilitate achievements of specified and reasonably concrete business targets. Unless the organization planner understands management's targets, the organization may be in conflict with what the business needs. The process is therefore: 1. Economic analysis and formulation by management of its targets for an appropriate period ahead. 2. Alignment of the structure in accordance with the targets. The alignment must in practice, be conditioned by personnel considerations, information, technological change, methods improvement, taxation, legal aspects and other environmental considerations. Modification of a hypothetically “neat” structure to accomodate these factors is not a deviation from what is “organizationally sound”.
