title: Radiographers as managers. 4. The organization and its structure--some theory and practice.
abstract: The success of an organization depends on its management and requires the correct applications of management principles relative to the aims of the organization. In order to manage, a structure will be set up which will depend not only on the objectives but also on the personnel within the organization. The structure and people together will form a culture. If the culture, people and structure are correct then the objectives of the organization will be met and the organization will be successful. When culture, people and structure do not match, this can cause friction, loss of morale, poor communication, political infighting and other such management problems.
