Definition: An organisation refers to a structured group of people with a specific purpose, such as a business, government department, charity, or club. It also encompasses the action of organising or the state of being systematically arranged and managed.
Etymology and Origin: The term ‘organisation’ originates from the Greek word ‘organon’, meaning ‘instrument’ or ‘tool’. This evolved into the Latin ‘organisatio’, and subsequently into the English word ‘organisation’. The concept of an organisation as a cohesive group of individuals working collaboratively emerged in the 18th century, while the use of the term to describe the act of organising dates back to the early 15th century.
