📌 Concept 5: Organization

Short Note (English)

An organization is a structured group of people working together to achieve specific objectives under a defined system of authority and roles. Unlike an association, which may be loosely organized, an organization has a formal structure, hierarchy, and division of labor. Examples include schools, companies, government departments, and NGOs.

সংক্ষিপ্ত নোট (Bengali)
