Abstract: Abstract Besides implying (1) structure and (2) behaviour, the term ‘organisation’ also implies (3) processes. These may be defined as a ‘series of actions that lead to the accomplishment of objectives’.1 As such, processes may be functional (selling, producing, etc.) or administrative. It is only with the latter that this section is concerned. Major administrative processes include organising, communicating, controlling, leading, delegation, planning and decision-making — a list that could be greatly extended by inclusion of additional activities of a supporting or facilitating nature, or further complicated by treating some processes as phases or subparts of others.
