An organization (or organisation — see spelling differences) is a social arrangement which pursues collective goals, controls its own performance, and has a boundary separating it from its environment. The word itself is derived from the Greek word organon, itself derived from the better-known word ergon.

In the social sciences, organizations are the object of analysis for a number of disciplines, such as sociology, economics, political science, psychology, management, and organizational communication. In more specific contexts, particularly for sociologists, the term "institution" may be preferred. The broader analysis of organizations is commonly referred to as organizational studies, organizational behavior or organization analysis. A number of different theories and perspectives exist, some of which are compatible,

  • Organization – process-related: an entity is being (re-)organized (organization as task or action).
  • Organization – functional: organization as a function of how entities like businesses or state authorities are used (organization as a permanent structure).
  • Organization – institutional: an entity is an organization (organization as an actual purposeful structure within a social context)

What are the organizations/companies that work on adults with low reading rates?
Q. Hi, I am from Turkey. Like most of the developing countries, lots of adults can read but are not interested in regular reading. Book publishing rates are low and the variety is limited. There aren't many public libraries either. Most of the international or local organizations, rightly, focus on children literacy. I wonder if there are organizations (profit or non-profit) who focus on this issue and come up with products/services?

Do you know of any charitable organizations I could donate books to?
Q. Does anybody know of any charitable organizations in the San Fernando Valley (CA) that would accept/need a donation of books? It has to be a group/organization that would not resell them. We have boxes of leftover holiday clearance books that need a home. Most of them are children's books, but some are for adults. I would be grateful for any information you could give me! The only reason I say it cannot be an organization that will resell them is because those are our company rules, or else we cannot donate the books.

A. The local United Way can direct you to homeless shelters that house moms and kids and to domestic violence shelters. Kids and moms in shelters have had to leave behind a lot of things including books and books will encourage reading. Another possibility is to call your local schools and ask to speak to the hiomeless students coordinator. Your books can help make difference by opening the doors to reading for pleasure to kids who may never have owned a book of their own before.
