Formal Organizations

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Show

A hospital, a university, and a manufacturer each run on written roles rather than acquaintance.

Watch for

The organization persists as its members are replaced, which is its defining feature.
