Definitions

an organization with little or no organizational structure or at best one that is flexible under operating conditions. The distinction between duties, responsibilities and authorities is not clear-cut as there are often no specific employment titles or arrangement into departments. An informal organization usually exists where a few persons are closely associated and each knows every or many aspects of the business which they handle according to who is available or most familiar or as needed, etc. One cannot build a large organization in this manner.
