Organization as the management object
An organization and its personnel constitute the main objects of management. There are two basic models of organization as management objects:
Organization as the close system:
Organization as the mechanic structure Organization as the working team
Operational management Personnel management
Organization as the open system
Organization as the complex hierarchy Organization as the public organization
Strategic management Employees’ involvement in activities
It is worth summing up: any organization is a corporate enterprise that has a legal identity; it operates as one single unit, and all members take part in its activities and management; additionally any organization should be established on the basis of the expected work-load. It is interesting to note that, according to Philip Kotler, there are three types of organizations:
- organizations, which make things happen;
- organizations, which watch things happen;
- organizations, which wonder things happen.
Text 4. Board of directors and ceo
A company’s board of directors helps management to develop business plans, economic policy objectives, and business strategy. A board of directors often selects the chief executive of the business, supports him, reviews his performance, and may dismiss him.
Through regular meetings, the board helps ensure effective organizational planning and sees that company resources are managed effectively. The board of directors also sees that the company meets regulatory requirements that apply to that business. The board of directors also must assess overall performance of the corporation.
Directors monitor a company’s financial performance and the success of its products, services and strategy. Directors are expected to follow developments that can affect business. They must set aside any potential conflict between their personal or individual business interests to support the well-being of the business which they serve.
The most effective board of directors will be a group of professionals who bring a breadth of skills, experience and diversity to a company. As a company grows and changes, the governing board also will change to meet changing needs and circumstances.

1. Select and appoint a chief executive; to review and evaluate his/her performance; to offer administrative guidance and determine whether to retain or dismiss him
2. Govern the organization by broad policies and objectives.
3. Acquire sufficient resources for the organization’s operation
4. Account to the public for the products and services of the organization and expenditures of its funds.
Major responsibilities of Board of Directors:
1. Determine the Organization’s Mission and Goal.
2. Select the Executive
3. Support the Executive and review his/her performance
4. Ensure effective organizational planning
5. Ensure adequate resources
6. Manage resources effectively
