1. Technical activities: Production, manufacture, adaptation.
2. Commercial activities: Buying, selling and exchange.
3. Financial activities: Search for and optimum use of capital.
4. Security activities: Protection of property and persons.
5. Accounting activities: Stock-taking, balance sheet, cost, and statistics.
6. Managerial activities: Planning, organisation, command, co- ordination and control.

Organizational Behaviour:

It is concerned with the understanding, prediction and control of human behaviour in organizations. It focuses on the individuals, the groups and the organization and also on their interactional relationships. It is the study and application of knowledge about how people act with organizations. It is a human tool for human benefit. It applies broadly to the behaviour of people in all types of organizations. Wherever organizations are, there is a need to understand organizational behaviour. According to Fred Luthans, “Organisational behaviour is directly concerned with the understanding, production and control of human behaviour in organisations.”

Organisational conflict:

It is a disagreement between two or more organisation members or groups arising from the fact that they must share scarce resources or work activities and/or from the fact that they have different statuses, goals, values or perceptions. Organisation members or sub- units in disagreement, attempt to have their own cause or point of view prevail over that of others. Conflicts may be at individual level, group level and at organisational level. Conflicts affect the work efficiency of the individual and of the group; as a result productivity is reduced.
