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. The term is used in both daily and scientific English in multiple ways.

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 beset organizations I can donate to, to feed the hungry?
Q. Can anyone recommend some very good organizations that I can donate to---organizations that feed the hungry? I'm looking for something that is NOT religiously based. An organization that is also reputable, where at least most of the donation actually goes toward feeding those who need food. Thank you in advance!

What are some non profit animal focused organizations?
Q. What are some trustworthy non profit organizations that you know for sure are worth donating money to and that will use 100% of the donations toward the cause of protecting animals? I'm looking for organizations dealing with both pets and wild animals, animal abuse, endangered species, etc. I'm planning on starting my own non profit 'campaign' of sorts to support a new non profit organization like this each month. I'm starting with animals, but don't want to donate money to someone who will use it on something completely unhelpful to the actual cause.

A. Ok I have to let you know one fact-there are NO charitable organizations/non profits where 100% of the donations go to the actual cause. I look for a range of 80-99%, some people are comfortable going as low as 75% but not me. They may have some events where 100% of what they raise in donations goes to the cause but those are usually underwrtitten by a large donor. Unfortunately they have expenses too-salaries/insurance/ov erhead/office supplies-you know the same stuff for profit companies use. Check your yellow pages or online for a local chapter of what i consider are the best options below: American Council for the Blind-Guide Dogs paws peta humane Society Check on any charity through the better business bureau.

What are all the organizations you can use to become a foreign exchange student?
Q. Hey I'm Jessica. I am thinking about doing a foreign exchange my senior year, to either Japan or Australia. Do any of you know all the organizations you can go through to become a foreign exchange student? Which organization, and which country would you choose? Thank ya:)

A. Rotary has a strong global network of volunteers, so I would definitely check out to your local Rotary Club in addition to the other programs mentioned. If your high school has an Interact Club, that would be a way meet them as well. I don't think it would be a problem to go out your senior year (even though you may miss graduation), but since our students usually go out in their junior year of high school or after graduation, I would check with your school and your local Rotary District's rules to determine if you can go out your senior year. In our program, we send students to countries where they do not speak the language, so that they have to learn it. This adds to a tremendous and life changing experience. You are allowed to… [cont.]
