Introduction

Developing an organization structure results in jobs which have to be staffed. "Work" is an
organisation's basic function. The 'primary activities' may relate to three categories—Data,
People and Things. Data includes synthesizing, coordinating, analyzing, compiling, computing
and comparing activities. People relate to monitoring, negotiating, instructing, supervising,
diverting, persuading and taking instructions. Things are concerned with setting up, precision
working, operating-controlling, driving-operating, manipulating and handling.
