While (Lawrence & Lorsch, 1967) mentions defines the organization in terms of its effectiveness: "The most effective organizations achieve a degree of differentiation and integration in organizational boundary-spanning functions which is compatible with environmental demands" (Blau & Scott, Formal Organization, 1962, p.5) defines it as: "Formal organization:
