Organisations enable objectives to be achieved that could not be achieved by the efforts of individuals on their own. Through cooperative action, members of an organization can provide a synergistic effect. There are many different types of organisations which are setup to serve a number of different purposes and to meet a variety of needs. Organisations come in all forms, shapes, and sizes. 138 Some of the examples of different types of organisations are firm of accountants, hotel, school, retail shop, local authority, airport, hospital, motorcar manufacturer, quarry works, banks, government department, pharmaceutical company, etc. In reality, the structure, management and functioning of these organisations, will all vary because of differences in the nature and types of the organisation, their respective goals and objectives, and the behavior of the people who work in them.
