Give the meaning of informal organisation with the help of a suitable example.
An informal organisation is that organisation which is not established deliberately but comes into existence because of common interests, tastes, and religious and communed relations. For example, in a formal organisation a supervisor in a purchase department consults only the manager of his department regarding all his problems connected with his activities, but in an informal organisation any manager of any department or supervisor can be consulted. Not only this, a supervisor can talk directly to the general manager. Thus, it is clear that in an informal organisation no stringent rules or procedures are to be followed but it is completely based on mutual goodwill.
