Yale School of Management (SOM)
Today, managerial careers cross functions, organizations, and industries, as well as cultural and political boundaries. Yale SOM teaches management fundamentals in an integrated way – the way successful managers must function every day.
The heart of the first-year curriculum is a series of multidisciplinary team-taught courses, called Organizational Perspective. To focus on organizational role, instead of disciplinary topic, creates a richer, more relevant context for students to learn the concept to succeed as leaders. The Integrated Leadership Perspective class gives students practical experience in synthesizing the lessons of the core through the case studies and group projects involving organizations of varying scale and purpose.

Management of Organization
Structure of Organization
Organization–
1. an officially organized group of people who work together or have the same aims, for example, a company or a political party:
the human rights organization Amnesty International;
or She belongs to a number of political and charitable organizations.
2. The way in which the different parts of something are arranged – structure:
Scientists are investigating the organization of the human brain.
Organizational structure –
the framework, typically hierarchical, within which an organization arranges its lines of authority and communications, and allocates rights and duties.
Organizational structure determines the manner and extent to which roles, power and responsibilities are delegated, controlled, and coordinated, and how information flows between levels of management.
The structure depends entirely in the organization’s objectives and the strategy chosen to achieve them. In a centralized structure, the decision making power is concentrated in the top layer of the management and tight control is exercised over departments and divisions. In a decentralized structure, the decision making power is distributed and the department and divisions have varying degrees of autonomy. An organizational chart illustrates the organizational structure.
Examples of organizational structure include the functional structure, divisional structure and matrix organization.

Systems Theory and An Organization
1. Systems theory has had a significant effect on management science and understanding organizations. A system is a collection of parts unified to accomplish an overall goal. If one part of the system is removed, the nature of the system is changed as well. For example, a pile of sand is not a system. If one removes a sand particle, you’ve still got a pile of sand. However, a functioning car is a system. Remove the carburetor and you’ve no longer got a working car. A system can be looked at as having inputs, processes, outputs and outcomes. Systems share feedback among each of these four aspects of the systems.
2. Let’s look at an organization. Inputs would include resources such as raw materials, money, technologies and people. These inputs go through a process where they’re planned, organized, motivated and controlled, ultimately to meet the organization’s goals. Outputs would be products or services to a market. Feedback would be information from human resources carrying out the process, customers/clients using the products, etc. feedback also comes from the larger environment of the organization, e.g., influences from government, society, economics, and technologies. This overall system framework applies to any system, including subsystems (departments, programs, etc.).
3. Systems theory may seem quite basic. Yet, decades of management training and practices in the workplace have not followed this theory. This interpretation has brought about a significant change (or paradigm shift) in the way management studies and approaches organizations.
4. The effect of systems theory in management is that writers, educators, consultants, etc. are helping managers to look at the organization from a broader perspective. Systems theory has brought a new perspective for managers to interpret patterns and events in the workplace and recognize the various parts of the organization and the interrelations of the parts.

Leadership and Organization
Leadership –
the activity of leading a group of people or an organization, or the ability to do this. In its essence, leadership in an organizational role involves:
1. establishing a clear vision;
2. sharing that vision with others so that they will follow willingly;
3. providing the information, knowledge and methods to realize that vision;

4. coordinating and balancing the conflicting interests of all members or stakeholders.
A leader comes to the forefront in case of crisis, and is able to think and act in creative ways in difficult situation.
Unlike management, leadership flows from the core of a personality and cannot be taught, although it many be learned and may be enhance through coaching or mentoring.
The individuals who are the leaders in an organization, regarded collectively.
