MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION STUDY THROUGH A NAVRANG PUZZLE ... !!!

An organizational structure consists of activities such as task allocation, coordination and supervision, which are directed towards the achievement of organizational aims. It can also be considered as the viewing glass or perspective through which individuals see their organization and its environment.
Organizations are a variant of clustered entities.
An organization can be structured in many different ways, depending on their objectives. The structure of an organization will determine the modes in which it operates and performs.
Organizational structure allows the expressed allocation of responsibilities for different functions and processes to different entities such as the branch, department, workgroup and individual.
Organizational structure affects organizational action in two big ways. First, it provides the foundation on which standard operating procedures and routines rest. Second, it determines which individuals get to participate in which decision-making processes, and thus to what extent their views shape the organization’s actions
Well, This was theory, lets study its importance through a NAVRANG example : 

The basic objective of the Navrang Puzzle is to get all 9 colors on all 6 sides. Unlike a standard rubki's cube, the Navrang Puzzle can be dismantled and reassembled . We were challenged to find an alogorithm or method to reassemble the puzzle in order to reach the intended objective. After a few desperatley minutes of thinking samaritans devised a plan. Unfortunately, the plan didnt work too well.

As prof. Mandi explained, it is the objective which needs to be quite clear in the initial stage which can help you to solve it. if any replication is there in a process we shall figure it out and use it to our advantage to minimize the effort and achieve greater efficiency.
