Document Summary
Organizing may be defined as the arranging of component parts into functioning wholes. The purpose of organizing is to coordinate activities so that a goal can be achieved. For example, organizing is considered step in the nursing process; however, planning is the second. In the managerial process (i. e. , managerial theory of leadership, planning is considered the first step and organizing, the second. In the managerial, planning is the determination of what is to be accomplished, and organizing is the determination of how it will be accomplished. However, most authors still describe the two processes with considerable overlap. in the nursing process, planning includes writing objectives, setting priorities, and determining activities to meet the objectives. Thus, organizing may be considered part of the planning, even though it is not specifically identified. Planning, and thus organizing, may be viewed as being part of all processes, including the leadership process.
