ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Organizational theory

Organizational theory is like playing with toys, but instead of playing with toys, it's about how grown-ups work together to make a company run.

When you play with your toys, you have rules to follow. When you play with dolls, for example, you have to make sure they don't fall down or get hurt. For companies, there are rules too. Companies have to make money, they have to treat employees fairly, and they have to follow laws.

Just like when you play with friends, the people who work at a company have to work together well. They have to make sure everyone has a job to do and that they are doing it well. Sometimes, people help each other out so that everyone succeeds. Other times, people may have different ideas about how to do things, which can cause problems.

Organizational theory helps grown-ups better understand how to make a company run smoothly. They study things like how to make sure everyone has a job to do, how people can work together to accomplish tasks, and how to make a company successful. By learning about organizational theory, grown-ups can make sure everyone is happy and working well together, just like when you play with friends.
