L.C Kenneth and L.p Jane (2007) says about Organisation" is a stable, formal, social structure that take resources from environment and process them to produce outputs".
Another author gives " an organistion is a group of people intentionally organised to accomplish and an overall, common goal or set of goals".
By the business dictionary meaning of organization is" social unit of people, systematically arranged and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals on a continuing basis".
As per my best knowledge, Organization is a group of people in public domain that runs well under social structure to achieve common goal more efficiently.
what is an organization?
According to L.C kenneth and L.P jane, in their explanation about the organization, I understood very well about the organization. His opinion about organization, it is a social formal structure and more stable then an informal group (such as a group of friends that meats every friday for lunch) in terms of long life and regularity. It works under set of rules which are legal. In his opinion capital and labour are primary production factor taken from environment. The production function in the organization transform these input in to product and services.
Organization is a place where many people or a group of people work together, in other words a company or an establishment. An organization has different departments, this makes the operations go more smoothly and in an efficient manner. The motive to split the work in an organization is to get better result. Most of organizations follow an hierarchy, this help the employees to promote there ideas and veiws. For example a employee cannot go and share his views with the head of the organization. But he can do that with his manager or superior, so he can recommend that view to his seniors. The aim of any organization is to make a mark in the marker and for that several department like Sales and marketing,Finance and Account, Human resource, and products and manufacture, etc, work together. They all work for the success of the company.
Any organization has a unique culture, or fundamental set of assumptions, ways of doing things, and values, that has been accepted by most of its members. Lets take an example of our MiddleSex University, we observe in our university there are several departments like student office, finance deparment, help desk, professor's cabin, etc. This makes the work easier and it is convenient for the student as well. Coming to the rules and regulations of our university it is very much punctual and excellent conduct.
Community of Practice:
In my point of view community of practice is, interaction between a group of people who share their knowledge about something what they know and they learn what they doesn't know regarding the concepts of their work to do much better.
According ot Etienne wanger " communities of practice are group of people who share a concern of a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly".
Fred Nickols,(2000) state that "communities of practice are group of people in orgnizations that form to share what they know to learn from one another regarding some aspects of their work had to provide a social context for the work".
What are community of practice:
According to "Etienne Wanger", he says all communities are not comes under community of practice, but all communities of practice are community which include the Domain, Community, and Practice.
Domain: It is nothing but sharing or gathering information from different places by the members they learn and share their collective information from each other.
Community: It is nothing but members are following in their interest domain. They are engage in joint activities and discussions, help each other and share information.
Practice: Members of a community of practice are practioners. They make shared respertoire of resources.
For Example: Community of practice is just like a group of friends or street gang. They share their knowledge about something what they know and learn new thing from their friends at daily meeting place. They may have developed all sorts of ways of dealing with their field.
